RFFM4501F Datasheet, PDF (1/9 Pages) RF Micro Devices – 4.9GHz to 5.85GHz 802.11a/n/ac WiFi Front End Module

PRELIMINARY
RFFM4501F
4.9GHz to 5.85GHz 802.11a/n/ac WiFi
Front End Module
The RFFM4501F provides a complete integrated solution in a single
front end module (FEM) for WiFi 802.11a/n/ac systems. The ultra-
small factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the
customer’s application and greatly reduces the number of external
components. Performance is focused on linear output power under a
number of conditions including duty cycle and packet length while
balancing power consumption needs of leading edge device
platforms. This simplifies the total front end solution by reducing the
bill of materials, system footprint, and manufacturing cost.
The RFFM4501F integrates a 5GHz power amplifier (PA), single pole
two throw switch (SP2T) and an LNA with bypass. The device is
provided in a 3mm x 3mm x 1.05mm, 16-pin laminate package. This
module meets or exceeds the RF front end needs of IEEE
802.11a/n/ac WiFi RF systems.
