RFFM8500Q Datasheet, PDF (1/10 Pages) RF Micro Devices – 4.9GHz to 5.85GHz 802.11a/n Front End Module

RFFM8500Q
4.9GHz to 5.85GHz 802.11a/n
Front End Module
The RFFM8500Q provides a complete integrated solution in a single
Front End Module (FEM) for WiFi 802.11a/n systems. The ultra small
form factor and integrated matching minimizes the layout area in the
customer's application and greatly reduces the number of external
components. This simplifies the total front end solution by reducing the
bill of materials, system footprint, and manufacturability cost. The
RFFM8500Q integrates a Power Amplifier (PA), Single Pole Double
Throw switch (SPDT), LNA and a power detector coupler for improved
accuracy. The device is provided in a 3mm x 3mm x 1.0mm, 16-pin
laminate package. This module meets or exceeds the RF Front End
needs of IEEE 802.11a/n WiFi RF systems. The RFFM8500Q is tested
in accordance with the AEC-Q100 Standard.
