    Qorvo's RFFM8505 provides a complete integrated solution in a single front end module (FEM) for Wi-Fi 802.11a/n/ac systems. The ultra-small factor and integrated matching minimizes 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 manufacturing cost. The RFFM8505 integrates a 5GHz power amplifier (PA), single pole double throw switch (SP2T), LNA with bypass, and a power detector coupler for improved accuracy. 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 802.11a/n/ac Wi-Fi RF systems.
