DATA SHEET • SKY66108-11: 2.4 GHz SMART ENERGY/ZIGBEE FRONT-END MODULE
Evaluation Board Description
The SKY66108-11 Evaluation Board is used to test the
performance of the SKY66108-11 FEM. The board is optimized for
evaluation, experimentation, and investigation with an 802.15.4
signal source. The design and layout can be quickly and easily
transferred into a production design.
An Evaluation Board schematic diagram is provided in Figure 4.
A reference design schematic is provided in Figure 5. Table 9
describes the pins on the power and control I/O header (J3).
Table 10 provides the Bill of Materials (BOM) list for Evaluation
Board components. A photograph of the Evaluation Board is
shown in Figure 6.
Evaluation Board Setup Procedure
1. Connect (J1, J2) to 50 Ω instruments. Terminate all unused
ports (if applicable) with 50 Ω.
2. Connect the supply ground to pin 19 or 20 of J3.
3. Connect 3.0 V to VCC, VCC1, and VCC2 of J3.
4. Connect 1.8 V to Pin 8 of J3.
5. Monitor the 2.5 GHz amplifier transmit performance by
applying an RF signal to J2 and monitoring the output power
on J1 (ANT).
6. Monitor the 2.5 GHz amplifier receive performance by applying
an RF signal to connector J1 (ANT) and monitoring the output
signal on connector J2.
CAUTION: Care should be taken not to overdrive the amplifier by
applying too much RF on the input to the device. A
suitable starting input power would be –20 dBm.
Package Dimensions
The PCB layout footprint for the SKY66108-11 is provided in
Figure 7. Typical part markings for the SKY66108-11 are shown
in Figure 8. Package dimensions are shown in Figure 9, and tape
and reel dimensions are provided in Figure 10.
Package and Handling Information
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.

free, and rated to Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL1). For
additional information, refer to the Skyworks Application Note,
Solder Reflow Information, document number 200164.
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.
