ADAVADVANCNECDE QPF4538 D Wi-Fi Front End Module Product Overview The Qorvo QPF4538 is an integrated front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 802.11a/n/ac systems. The compact form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the application. Performance is focused on optimizing the PA for PoE 16-Pin, 2.5x2.5 mm Module Package applications by centering on 0.5W power consumption while maintaining the highest linear output power and leading edge throughput. Key Features Integrated die level filtering for 2nd and 3rd harmonics as well as 2.4 GHz rejection for DBDC operation are included. 49005925MHz POUT = +17.5dBm MCS9 VHT80 -35dB Dynamic EVM The QPF4538 integrates a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA), single POUT = +18.5dBm MCS7 HT20/40 -30dB Dynamic EVM pole two throw switch (SP2T) and bypassable low noise POUT = +21dBm MCS0 HT20 Spectral Mask Compliance amplifier (LNA) into a single device. 160MHz Bandwidth and MCS11 Capable Optimized for +3.3 V Operation Low Power Consumption ~ 0.5W 30dB Tx Gain Functional Block Diagram 2.5 dB Noise Figure 14.5 dB Rx Gain & 6 dB Bypass Loss 15 dB 2.4 GHz Rejection on Rx Path Integrated DC Power Detector Applications Access Points Wireless Routers Residential Gateways Set-Top Boxes Customer Premise Equipment Internet of Things Ordering Information Part Number Description QPF4538SB Sample bag with 5 pieces Top View QPF4538SQ Sample bag with 25 pieces QPF4538SR 7 reel with 100 pieces QPF4538TR7 7 reel with 2,500 pieces QPF4538TR13 13 reel with 10,000 pieces QPF4538PCK-01 Assembled Evaluation Board + 5 pcs QPF4538 DS Brief 20161212 Subject to change without notice 1 of 2 www.qorvo.com ADAVADVANCNECDE QPF4538 D Wi-Fi Front End Module Handling Precautions Parameter Rating Standard Caution ESD Human Body Model (HBM) Class 1B ANSI/ESD/JEDEC JS-001 ESD Charged Device Model (CDM) Class C3 JESD22-C101 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.
