RFMD + TriQuint = Qorvo RF6555 RF6555 2.0V TO 3.6V, 2.4GHz FRONT END MODULE The RF6555 integrates a complete solution in a single Front End Module (FEM) for WiFi and ZigBee® applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz band. This FEM integrates the PA plus harmonic filter in the transmit path. The RF6555 also has an integrated LNA with bypass mode internally. The RF6555 provides a single balanced TDD access for Rx and Tx paths along with two ports on the output for connecting a diversity solution or a test port. The device is provided in a 5mm x 5mm x 1mm, 24-pin laminate package.
