RFMD Smart Energy Portfolio

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, 433MHz and 169MHz ISM bands. The
RF3858, RFFM69xx, RFFM65xx, RFFM64xx, RFFM62xx series, and
RF5745 are specifically designed to address the need for aggressive size
reduction in a typical 802.15.4 front end designs and offer a reduced
footprint and minimized component count, outside of the core chipset.
The RF3858, RF65x9, and RFFM69xx series integrate a
915MHz/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.
The RFFM6500 integrates a 169MHz high-power amplifier (PA) with
transmit (Tx) filtering and a SPDT switch.
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 RFtested.
