RFPA-5200 debuts, boosts Wi-Fi deployment



Global leader in designing and manufacturing of high-performance semiconductor components, the Radio Frequency Micro Devices, Inc, otherwise known as (RFMD), has unveiled a three-stage power amplifier (PA) to boost Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) tagged RFPA5200.

The senior manager, Communications at RFMD, Irma Swain, confirmed that RFPA5200 is a three-stage power amplifier designed for 802.11b/g/n applications.

Swain also said that the integrated input and output 50Ω match eliminates the need for any external matching components and greatly reduces layout area, bill of materials (BOM) and manufacturability cost in the customer application. 

The RFPA5200, Swain said is manufactured on an advanced InGaP heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) process. 

According the manager, this PA is capable of achieving linear power up to 27dBm with an Earned Value Managment Maturity Model Level-3 per cent (EVM < 3%) while maintaining excellent power added efficiency (PAE). 

The device, Swain added has been provided in a 4mm x 4mm x 1mm, 10-pin laminate package and it meets or exceeds the power requirements of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE802.11b/g/n) WiFi Radio Frequency (RF) systems.

DigitalSENSE Business News recalls that RFMD's products enable worldwide mobility, provide enhanced connectivity and support advanced functionality in the cellular handset, wireless infrastructure, wireless local area network (WLAN), Community Antenna TV (CATV) cum broadband and aerospace and defense markets. 

Acclaimed RFMD is recognized for its diverse portfolio of semiconductor technologies and RF systems expertise and is a preferred supplier to the world's leading mobile device, customer premises and communications equipment providers.

Headquartered in Greensboro, N.C., RFMD is a ISO/TS 16949-, ISO 9001-, and ISO 14001-certified manufacturer with worldwide engineering, design, sales and service facilities. RFMD is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol RFMD. 

... Making SENSE of digital revolution!
