QPF4230
Wi-Fi Front End Module
Product Overview
The Qorvo® QPF4230 is an integrated front end module (FEM)
designed for Wi-Fi 6 (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.
Receive path matches the optimal technologies to maximize
Rx sensitivity through noise figure performance that is
consistent over a wider variety of conditions.
16 Pin 3x3 mm Laminate Package
Key Features
• 2412-2484MHz
• POUT = +14dBm MCS11 HE40 -43dB Dynamic EVM
• POUT = +17dBm MCS9 VHT40 -35dB Dynamic EVM
• POUT = +18dBm MCS7 HT20/40 -30dB Dynamic EVM

as 5 GHz rejection for DBDC operation are included. For power
control feedback, a DC power detector which has voltage output
has been integrated.
The QPF4230 integrates a 2.4GHz power amplifier (PA),
regulator, single pole three throw switch (SP3T), low noise
amplifier (LNA) and coupler into a single device.
