Product Description
The RFFM6201 integrates a complete solution in a single Front End Module (FEM)
for WiFi and ZigBee applications in the 2.4GHz band. This FEM integrates the PA
plus harmonic filter in the transmit path. The RFFM6201 also integrates a Low
Noise Amplifier (LNA) with bypass mode and a balun. The RFFM6201 provides a
single balanced TDD access for Rx and Tx paths along with two ports on the output
for connecting a diversity solution or a test port. The device is provided in a 5mm x
5mm x 1mm, 24 pin laminate package.
