RFMD + TriQuint = Qorvo RFFM6406 RFFM6406 2.5V to 4.2V, ISM Band, 1 1/2W, 408MHz to 455MHz Transmit/Receive Module The RFFM6406 is a single-chip front end module (FEM) for applications in the 400MHz ISM Band. The RFFM6406 addresses the need for aggressive size reduction for typical portable equipment RF front-end design and greatly reduces the number of components outside of the core chipset, thus minimizing the footprint and assembly cost of the overall solution. The RFFM6406 contains an integrated 1 1/2 Watt PA, SP2T antenna switch, integrated Tx harmonic filter, LNA with bypass mode, and matching components. The RFFM6406 is packaged in a 28pin, 6.0mm x 6.0mm x 0.975mm over-molded laminate package with backside ground which greatly minimizes next level board space and allows for simplified integration.
