RFMD + TriQuint = Qorvo RFFM6403 RFFM6403 2.5V to 4.2V, ISM Band, 1W, 405MHz to 475MHz Transmit/Receive Module The RFFM6403 is a single-chip front end module (FEM) for applications in the 405MHz and 475MHz ISM Bands. The RFFM6403 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 RFFM6403 contains an integrated 1 Watt PA, SP2T Antenna switch, integrated Tx harmonic filter, LNA with bypass mode, and matching components. The RFFM6403 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.
