Front End Module Portfolio
The RFMD
®
portfolio of single-chip integrated front end
modules (FEMs) is developed for high performance AMI and
ZigBee applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz, 915/868MHz,
and 433MHz ISM bands. The RF3858, RFFM69xx, RFFM64xx,
RFFM62xx series, and RF5745 are specifically designed to
address the need for aggressive size reduction in a typical
802.15.4 front end design and offer a reduced footprint and
minimized component count, outside the core chipset.
The RF3858, RF65x9, and RFFM69xx series integrate a
915/868MHz high-power amplifier (PA) with transmit (Tx)
filtering, a low noise amplifier (LNA) with or without bypass
functionality, and a remarkably complex combination of double-
pole double-throw (DPDT), single-pole double-throw (SPDT),
and single-pole three-throw (SP3T) switches. This configuration
allows for a high-power design capable of antenna diversity.
The pin out of the FEM enables users to implement additional
Rx filtering external to the module, if needed.
The RF5745, RF65x5, and RFFM6201 integrate a 2.4GHz PA,
transmit (Tx) filtering, input and output switches, a Tx or Rx
attenuation path, and an LNA with or without bypass mode.

The RF65x4 and RFFM640x integrate a 470MHz high-power
amplifier (PA) with transmit (Tx) filtering and an SPDT switch.
This configuration allows for a high-power design with minimal
loss in the Rx path.
Each of our AMI front end modules meets or exceeds the
RF front end needs for 802.15.4 AMI/ZigBee
®
RF systems and
is fully DC- and RF-tested.
