RF5836 4.9GHz TO 5.85GHz 802.11a/n Front End Module

RFMD’s new RF5836 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. The RF5836 integrates a power amplifier (PA), single-pole double-throw switch (SP2T), and a power detector coupler for improved accuracy. The device is provided in a 3mm x 3mm x 0.5mm, 16-pin package. This module meets or exceeds the RF front end needs of IEEE 802.11a/n WiFi RF systems.

Features

  • Single Supply Voltage 3.0V to 4.8V
  • Low Control Voltage >1.6V
  • Integrated 5GHz Amplifier, SPT2T Tx/Rx Switch, and Power Detector Coupler
  • POUT= 15.5dBm (11a, 54Mbps at 4% EVM)
  • POUT= 14.5dBm (11n, 65Mbps at 2.8% EVM)
  • Low-Height Package, Suited for SiP and CoB Designs

Applications

  • Cellular Handsets
  • Mobile Devices
  • Tablets
  • Consumer Electronics
  • Gaming
  • Netbooks/Notebooks
  • TV/Monitors/Video
