RF6505

3.2V TO 4.2V, 2.4GHz FRONT END MODULE

The RF6505 integrates a complete solution in a single Front End Module (FEM) for

WiFi and ZigBee applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz band. This FEM integrates a

balun, TX/RX switch, power amplifier, harmonic filter, DP2T switch, and low noise

amplifier with bypass mode. It provides a single balanced TDD access for Rx and Tx

paths along with two ports on the output for connecting a diversity solution or a test

port. The device is provided in a 3.5mm x 3.5mm x 0.5mm, 20-pin QFN package.
