Front-end module support for WiLink platform
The RF3482 delivers high levels of integration and best-in-class solution size while meeting stringent IEEE 802.11b/g/n requirements, claims RFMD, adding it is highly focused on the rapidly expanding WiFi market and expects continued growth, supported by explosive growth in the smartphone, tablet, PC, TV/Video, gaming, automotive, Smart Energy and consumer white goods end markets.
RFMD’s RF3482 is a high-performance, single-chip integrated front end module (FEM) for WiFi applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM band. The RF3482 FEM greatly reduces customers’ time-to-market and bill-of-material (BOM) cost by delivering a highly integrated single placement solution.
In addition to satisfying smartphone manufacturers’ requirements for aggressive size reductions in 802.11b/g/n front end solutions, the RF3482 delivers high linear output power and greatly reduces the number of components outside the core connectivity chipset.
TI’s WiLink 6.0 and WiLink 7.0 platforms are powerful multi-radio solutions able to support a wide range of connectivity requirements for various end equipments. RFMD’s RF3482 is manufactured using the Company’s E/D-mode pHEMT fabrication process and is available in a small 3mm x 3mm x 0.45mm 16-pin QFN package. The RF3482 is fully RF-tested, meeting or exceeding the stringent RF front end requirements of 802.11b/g/n systems.
