Product Description
The RF5516 provides a complete integrated solution in a single Front-End
Module (FEM) for WiFi 802.11a systems. The ultra small form factor and
integrated matching minimizes the layout area in the customer's applica-
tion and greatly reduces the number of external components to only one
bypass capacitor for supply decoupling. This simplifies the total Front-End
solution by reducing the bill of materials, system footprint, and manufac-
turability cost. The RF5516 integrates a Power Amplifier (PA), Single Pole
Double Throw switch (SP2T), Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), and a power
detector coupler for improved accuracy. The device is provided in a
3mmx3mmx0.5mm, 16-pin package. This module meets or exceeds the
RF Front End needs of IEEE 802.11a WiFi RF systems.
