and ZigBee® Front End Module Portfolio

RFMD.
Smart Energy: Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
and ZigBee® 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 threethrow (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.
FEATURES
• Integrated PA, Tx harmonic filtering, LNA, and switches
• High power: up to >1W
• High gain: 28 to 31dB
• High efficiency: >55%
• Advanced module packaging
APPLICATIONS
• ISM Band
• Smart Energy
• Automatic Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
• Alarm Systems
• Home Area Network (HAN)
• Home Automation
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 RFFM6401 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.
