RFMD RFPA5200 RFPA5201

RFMD’s new RFPA520x series of three-stage WiFi PA modules are designed for 802.11b/g/n applications. Each is a highly integrated solution with minimal external components, greatly reducing layout area, bill of materials (BOM), and manufacturing costs for the customer application. Built with an advanced InGaP HBT process, these PAs have high linear output power while maintaining excellent power added efficiency (PAE). RFPA5200 comes in a 4mm × 4mm × 1mm, 10-pin laminate package, while RFPA5201 comes in a 14-pin, 7mm x 7mm Multi-Chip Module (MCM).
