QPF4528 Wi-Fi Front End Module Product Overview The Qorvo QPF4528 is an integrated front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 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. 16 Pad 3x3 mm Laminate Package Receive path matches the optimal technologies to maximize 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 51505925MHz in the optimal position. Integrated die level filtering for 2nd and P = +12.5dBm MCS11 HE80 -47dB Dynamic EVM OUT 3rd harmonics as well as 2.4 GHz rejection for DBDC operation P = +15dBm MCS11 HE80 -43dB Dynamic EVM OUT are included. P = +18dBm MCS9 VHT80 -35dB Dynamic EVM OUT There are two options for power detect, a DC power detector P = +19dBm MCS7 HT20/40 -30dB Dynamic EVM OUT which has voltage output and an RF power detector with an RF P = +21dBm MCS0 HT20 Spectral Mask Compliance OUT output from a directional coupler. Optimized for +3.3 V Operation 0.5W Power Consumption at P +17dBm OUT The QPF4528 integrates a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA), 30dB Tx Gain regulator, single pole two throw switch (SP2T), bypassable low 2 dB Noise Figure noise amplifier (LNA), coupler and voltage power detector into a 15 dB Rx Gain & 7 dB Bypass Loss single device 35 dB 2.4 GHz Rejection on Rx Path Integrated RF Coupler as well as DC Power Detector Functional Block Diagram Applications Access Points Wireless Routers Client Equipment Customer Premise Equipment Internet of Things Ordering Information Part Number Description QPF4528SB Sample bag with 5 pieces QPF4528SQ Sample bag with 25 pieces QPF4528SR 7 reel with 100 pieces QPF4528TR13-5K 13 reel with 5,000 pieces Top View QPF4528PCK-01 Assembled Evaluation Board + 5 pcs www.qorvo.com QPF4528 Preview 081618 Subject to change without notice 1 of 2 QPF4528 Wi-Fi Front End Module Handling Precautions Parameter Rating Standard Caution ESD Human Body Model (HBM) Class 1B (500V) ANSI/ESD/JEDEC JS-001 ESD Charged Device Model (CDM) Class C3 (1kV) ANSI/ESD/JEDEC JS-002 ESD sensitive device MSL Moisture Sensitivity Level Level 3 IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 Solderability Compatible with both lead-free (260C max. reflow temperature) and tin/lead (245C max. reflow temperature) soldering processes.
