RF5924
Theory of Operation
The RF5924 FEM is a single-chip integrated front-end module (FEM) for high performance WLAN applications in the 2.4GHz to
2.5GHz ISM band. The FEM addresses the need for aggressive size reduction for a typical 802.11b/g RF front-end design and
greatly reduces the number of components outside of the core chipset therefore minimizing the footprint and assembly cost of
the overall 802.11b/g solution. The FEM has integrated b/g power amplifier, power detector, RX balun and TX filtering. Also it is
capable of switching between WLAN RX, WLAN TX, and BTH RX/TX operations. It has low insertion loss at the 2.4GHz to
2.5GHz WLAN and BTH paths. The device is manufactured on a laminate module and GaAs HBT processes. The device is provided in a 3.5mmx3.5mm, 16-pin package. This module meets or exceeds the RF front-end needs of 802.11b/g WLAN RF systems.
The RF5924 is designed primarily for IEEE802.11 b/g WLAN applications where the available supply voltage and current are
limited. The RF5924 requires a single positive supply voltage (VCC), positive current control bias (PA_EN) supply, and a positive
supply for switch control to simplify bias requirements. The RF5924 FEM also has built in power detection. All inputs and outputs are internally matched to 50Ω except the WLAN receive path it is deferential with nominal impedance of 100 ohm on
each pin.
802.11b/g Transmit Path
The RF5924 has a typical gain of 30dB from 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz, and delivers 16dBm typical output power under 54Mbps
OFDM modulation and 20.5dBm under 11Mbps CCK modulation. The RF5924 requires a single positive supply of 3.1V to
4.5V to operate at full specifications. Current control optimization for the 802.11b/g band is provided through one bias control
input pin (PA_EN). The PA_EN pin requires a regulated supply to maintain nominal bias current. In general, higher PA_EN voltage produce higher linear output power, higher operating current, and higher gain.
Out of Band Rejection
The RF5924 contains basic filtering components to produce bandpass responses for the transmit and receive paths. Due to
space constraints inside the module, filtering is limited to a few resonant poles per RF path. Additional filters may need to be
added outside the module depending upon the end-user's application.
802.11b/g Receive Path
The 802.11b/g path has a100Ω differential impedance with a nominal insertion loss of 1.8dB. The RX port return loss is 10db
minimum. The RX Balun is manufactured on Integrated GaAs Process. Depending on the application, if filtering is required
beyond what the RF5924 can achieve then additional external filters will need to be added outside of the RF5924.

RF5924 Biasing Instructions:
• 802.11b/g Transmit (VCC compliance=5V, 500mA, VREG compliance=3V, 20mA)
• Connect the FEM to a signal generator at the input and a spectrum analyzer at the output.
• Bias VCC to 3.7V first with PA_EN=0.0V
• Refer to switch operational truth table to set the control lines at the proper levels for WLAN TX.
• Turn on PA_EN to 2.7V. PA_EN controls the current drawn by the 802.11b/g power amplifier and the current
should quickly rise to ~180mA±30mA for a typical part but it varies based on the output power desired. Be
extremely careful not to exceed 3.0V on the PA_EN pin or the part may exceed device current limits.

PCB Design Requirements
PCB Surface Finish
The PCB surface finish used for RFMD’s qualification process is electroless nickel, immersion gold. Typical thickness is 3μinch
to 8μinch gold over 180μinch nickel.
PCB Land Pattern Recommendation
PCB land patterns for RFMD components are based on IPC-7351 standards and RFMD empirical data. The pad pattern shown
has been developed and tested for optimized assembly at RFMD. The PCB land pattern has been developed to accommodate
lead and package tolerances. Since surface mount processes vary from company to company, careful process development is
recommended.

Tape and Reel Information
Carrier tape basic dimensions are based on EIA481. The pocket is designed to hold the part for shipping and loading onto SMT
manufacturing equipment, while protecting the body and the solder terminals from damaging stresses. The individual pocket
design can vary from vendor to vendor, but width and pitch will be consistent.
Carrier tape is wound or placed onto a shipping reel either 330mm (13inches) in diameter or 178mm (7inches) in diameter.
The center hub design is large enough to ensure the radius formed by the carrier tape around it does not put unnecessary
stress on the parts.
Prior to shipping, moisture sensitive parts (MSL level 2a to 5a) are baked and placed into the pockets of the carrier tape. A
cover tape is sealed over the top of the entire length of the carrier tape. The reel is sealed in a moisture barrier, ESD bag, which
is placed in a cardboard shipping box. It is important to note that unused moisture sensitive parts need to be resealed in the
moisture barrier bag. If the reels exceed the exposure limit and need to be rebaked, most carrier tape and shipping reels are
not rated as bakeable at 125°C. If baking is required, devices may be baked according to section 4, table 4-1, column 8 of
Joint Industry Standard IPCEDEC J-STD-033A.
The following table provides useful information for carrier tape and reels used for shipping the devices described in this document.
