ADVANCED ADVANCE D QPF4518M Wi-Fi Front End Module Product Overview The Qorvo QPF4518M is an integrated front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 5 (11ac) systems. The compact form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the application. Performance is focused on optimizing the PA for a 5V supply voltage that conserves power consumption while maintaining 24 Pin 5x3 mm QFN Package the highest linear output power and leading edge throughput. The receive path is pinned out so external filtering can be added Key Features in the optimal position. Integrated die level filtering for 2nd and 3rd harmonics as well as 2.4 GHz rejection for DBDC operation 51505925MHz are included. P = +23dBm MCS9 VHT80 -35dB Dynamic EVM OUT P = +24.5dBm MCS7 HT20/40 -30dB Dynamic EVM There are two options for power detect, a DC power detector OUT which has voltage output and an RF power detector with an RF P = +25dBm MCS0 HT20 Spectral Mask Compliance OUT output from a directional coupler. 160MHz Bandwidth and MCS11 Capable Optimized for +5V Operation The QPF4518M integrates a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA), single 32dB Tx Gain pole two throw switch (SP2T) and bypassable low noise 2dB Noise Figure amplifier (LNA) into a single device 16dB Rx Gain & 6.5dB Bypass Loss 25dB 2.4GHz Rejection on Rx Path Integrated RF Power Detector Coupler & DC Power Functional Block Diagram Detector Applications Access Points Wireless Routers Residential Gateways Customer Premise Equipment Internet of Things Ordering Information Top View Part Number Description QPF4518MSB Sample bag with 5 pieces QPF4518MSQ Sample bag with 25 pieces QPF4518MSR 7 reel with 100 pieces QPF4518MTR13 13 reel with 2,500 pieces QPF4518MPCK401 Assembled Evaluation Board + 5 pcs QPF4518M Data Sheet Brief 022219 Subject to change without notice 1 of 2 www.qorvo.com QPF4518M Wi-Fi Front End Module Handling Precautions Parameter Rating Standard Caution ESD Human Body Model (HBM) Class 1B (750V) ANSI/ESD/JEDEC JS-001 ESD Charged Device Model (CDM) Class C2a (700V) ANSI/ESD/JEDEC JS-002 ESD sensitive device MSL Moisture Sensitivity Level Level 2 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.
