Evaluation Board Description
The SKY73208-11 Evaluation Board is used to test the
performance of the SKY73208-11 module. An Evaluation Board
schematic diagram is provided in Figure 8. An assembly drawing
for the Evaluation Board is shown in Figure 9 and the layer detail
is provided in Figure 10.
Circuit Design Configurations
The following design considerations are general in nature and
must be followed regardless of final use or configuration:
 Paths to ground should be made as short as possible.
 The ground pad of the SKY73208-11 has special electrical and
thermal grounding requirements. This pad is the main thermal
conduit for heat dissipation. Since the circuit board acts as the
heat sink, it must shunt as much heat as possible from the
device. Therefore, design the connection to the ground pad to
dissipate the maximum wattage produced by the circuit board.
 Skyworks recommends including external bypass capacitors on
the VDD voltage inputs of the device.
Package Dimensions
The PCB layout footprint for the SKY73208-11 is provided in
Figure 11. Figure 12 shows the package dimensions, and
Figure 13 provides the tape and reel dimensions.
Package and Handling Information
Since the device package is sensitive to moisture absorption, it is
baked and vacuum packed before shipping. Instructions on the
shipping container label regarding exposure to moisture after the
container seal is broken must be followed. Otherwise, problems
related to moisture absorption may occur when the part is
subjected to high temperature during solder assembly.
The SKY73208-11 is rated to Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (MSL3)
at 260 C. It can be used for lead or lead-free soldering. For
additional information, refer to the Skyworks Application Note,
PCB Design & SMT Assembly/Rework Guidelines for MCM-L
Packages, document number 101752.
Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is
done manually or in a production solder reflow environment.
Production quantities of this product are shipped in a standard
tape and reel format.
