PRELIMINARY
QPF4216
Wi-Fi Front End Module
Product Overview
The Qorvo® QPF4216 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 5V 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 Rx
sensitivity through noise figure performance that is consistent
over a wider variety of conditions.
24 Pin 5x3 mm Laminate (LGA) Package
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
3rd harmonics as well as 5 GHz rejection for DBDC operation
are included.
• 2400-2500 MHz
• POUT = +22 dBm MCS11 HE40 -43 dB Dynamic EVM
• POUT = +24 dBm MCS8/9 VHT40 -35 dB Dynamic EVM
• POUT = +25 dBm MCS7 HT20/40 -30 dB Dynamic EVM
• POUT = +26 dBm MCS0 HT20 Spectral Mask Compliance
• Optimized for +5 V Operation
A key feature is the integration of a logarithmic power detector
which enables power control across the entire power spectrum
for applications which use higher gain antennas or end users
wanting to reduce device calibration time in production.
• 32 dB Tx Gain
• 1.8 dB Noise Figure
The QPF4216 integrates a 2.4 GHz power amplifier (PA),
regulator, single pole two throw switch (SP2T), bypassable low
noise amplifier (LNA) into a single device.
• 15.5 dB Rx Gain & 7 dB Bypass Loss
• 15 dB 5 GHz Rejection on Rx Path
• Integrated Quasi-Log Power Detector
