RFMD + TriQuint = Qorvo RFFM6204 RFFM6204 2.0V to 4.0V, 2.4GHz Front End Module The RFFM6204 is a complete integrated solution in a single Front End Module (FEM) for Zigbee® applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz band. The ultra-small factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the customer's application and greatly reduces the number of external components. This simplifies the total front end solution by reducing the bill of materials, system footprint, and manufacturing cost. The FEM integrates a power amplifier (PA) plus harmonic filter in the transmit (TX) path, a low noise amplifier (LNA) in the receive (RX) path, and a low loss bidirectional through mode path. The RFFM6204 incorporates two single-pole triple-throw (SP3T) switches to provide a single balanced TDD access and a single antenna port for TX, RX, and through mode paths. The device is provided in a 2.5mm x 2.5mm x 0.5mm, 16-pin QFN package.
