10 9 8 7 6 RFMD + TriQuint = Qorvo RFPA5542 RFPA5542 WiFi Integrated PA Module 4.9GHz to 5.925GHz Package: QFN, 20-pin, 4.0mm x 4.0mm x 0.90mm The RFPA5542 is a three-stage power amplifier (PA) designed for 802.11a/n/ac applications. The integrated input and output 50 match Features greatly reduces the layout area, bill of materials and manufacturability P = 23dBm, 5V, 11ac, 80MHz OUT cost in the customer application. The PA is optimized to minimize the MCS9 at 1.8% EVM required external components to maintain linear performance. The P = 25dBm, 5V, 11n, 20/40MHz OUT RFPA5542 is manufactured on an advanced InGaP heterojunction bipolar MCS7 at 3% EVM transistor (HBT) process and is capable of achieving linear powers up to Typical Gain = 33dB 23dBm with an EVM <1.8% while maintaining excellent power added High PAE efficiency. The device is provided in a 4.0mm x 4.0mm x 0.90mm Required external components package that meets or exceeds the power requirements of minimized IEEE802.11a/n/ac WiFi RF systems.
