RFFM8205

2.4GHz to 2.5GHz 802.11b/g/n/ac WiFi

Front End Module

The RFFM8205 provides a complete integrated solution in a single front

end module (FEM) for WiFi 802.11b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth® systems.

The ultra-small form factor and integrated matching greatly reduces the

number of external components and layout area in the customer

application. This simplifies the total front end solution by reducing the bill

of materials, system footprint, and manufacturing cost. The RFFM8205

integrates a 2.5GHz power amplifier (PA), a low noise amplifier (LNA)

with bypass mode, a power detector coupler for improved accuracy, an

SP3T switch, and some filtering for harmonic rejection. The device is

provided in a 2.5mm x 2.5mm x 0.40mm 16-pin QFN package. This

module meets or exceeds the RF front end needs of IEEE

802.11b/g/n/ac WiFi RF systems.
