QPF4228 Wi-Fi Front End Module Product Overview The Qorvo QPF4228 is an integrated front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) systems. The compact form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the application. Performance is focused on optimizing the PA for a 3.3V supply voltage that conserves power consumption while maintaining the highest linear output power and leading edge throughput. Receive path matches the optimal technologies to maximize 16 Pin 3x3 mm Laminate Package Rx sensitivity through noise figure performance that is consistent over a wider variety of conditions. Key Features The receive path is pinned out so external filtering can be added in the optimal position. Integrated die level filtering for 2nd and 2412-2484MHz 3rd harmonics as well as 5 GHz rejection for DBDC operation POUT = +14dBm MCS11 HE40 -43dB Dynamic EVM are included. POUT = +17dBm MCS9 VHT40 -35dB Dynamic EVM POUT = +18dBm MCS7 HT20/40 -30dB Dynamic EVM There are two options for power detect, a DC power detector POUT = +21dBm MCS0 HT20 Spectral Mask Compliance which has voltage output and an RF power detector with an RF Optimized for +3.3V Operation output from a directional coupler. 0.5W Power Consumption at POUT = +17.5dBm The QPF4228 integrates a 2.4GHz power amplifier (PA), 33dB Tx Gain regulator, single pole three throw switch (SP3T), low noise 2.2dB Noise Figure amplifier (LNA) and coupler into a single device 15dB Rx Gain & 7dB Bypass Loss 15dB 5GHz Rejection on Rx Path Integrated RF Power Detector Coupler as well as DC Power Functional Block Diagram Detector Applications Access Points Wireless Routers Client Equipment Customer Premise Equipment Internet of Things Ordering Information Part Number Description QPF4228SB Sample bag with 5 pieces QPF4228SQ Sample bag with 25 pieces QPF4228SR 7 reel with 100 pieces QPF4228TR13-5K 13 reel with 5,000 pieces QPF4228EVB-01 Assembled Evaluation Board Top View QPF4228 Data Sheet 121918 Subject to change without notice 1 of 2 www.qorvo.com QPF4228 Wi-Fi Front End Module Handling Precautions Standard Parameter Rating Caution ESD Human Body Model (HBM) Class 1C (1kV) ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 ESD Charged Device Model (CDM) Class C2b (750V) ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-002 ESD sensitive device MSL Moisture Sensitivity Level Level 3 IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 Solderability Compatible with both lead-free (260 C max. reflow temperature) and tin/lead (245 C max. reflow temperature) soldering processes.
