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

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
