RFFM3482E

2.4GHz TO 2.5GHz SINGLE-BAND

FRONT END MODULE

The RFFM3482E is a single-chip integrated front end module (FEM) for

high-performance WiFi applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM band.

The FEM addresses the need for aggressive size reduction for a typical

802.11b/g/n front end design and greatly reduces the number of compo-

nents outside of the core chipset. The FEM has integrated b/g/n power

amplifier, directional power detector, Rx balun, and some Tx filtering. It is

also capable of switching between WiFi Rx, WiFi Tx and BTH Rx/Tx opera-

tions. The device is provided in a 3mmx3mmx0.45mm, 16-pin package.

This module meets or exceeds the RF front end needs of 802.11b/g/n

WiFi RF systems.
