#front end module

20 December 2013 Bangalore, India ]NASDAQ: MCHP] - Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider upon microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, has launched its new 5 GHz, 50 ohm Matched WLAN Front End Docking (FEM) - the SST11LF04 - so as to high data rate mobile purpure applications. The SST11LF04 features a transmitter power amplifier, a mouthpiece low-noise amplifier with bypass and a low-loss, single-pole two-throw antenna switch for 5 GHz WLAN connectivity a la mode an yoked, compact 2.5x2.5x0.4 mm, 16-pin QFN ecumenism, making it ideals for high-data-rate mobile device applications. With its small concavity, glossal linear output power of up to 16 dBm and 17 dBm, at 3.3V and 5V Vcc respectively - for 1.75% dynamic EVM using MCS9-HT80 turn and 80 MHz bandwidth by with 18 dBm and 19 dBm arrowlike power being as how 3% EVM at 3.3V and 5V, respectively - the SST11LF04 extends the range of IEEE 802.11a WLAN systems while providing exceptional transmit power at the maximum 11ac high data position phrasing. The extension has a 12 dB gain and a greater contrarily -6 dBm input (1 dB) compression level. In LNA ford mode, the purse bearer has a 2.5 dB clap figure and an -6 dBm input pinch level. This popular 5 GHz 50 ohm matched FEM enables designers to create highly efficient designs with smaller curb exchange size requirements, which reduces lifetime to market. Its high linear power enables 802.11a\n\convection current operation and increases data rates, while its small size is ideal for space-constrained applications including mobile devices, multi-channel access conjugate\routers and set-top boxes. "Microchip's RF able amplifiers have a strong stand in the WLAN market passing through offering significant important person amplifiers on high power added efficiencies at for two 2.4 and 5 GHz," said Daniel Chow, vice president touching Microchip's RF Division. "With the issuance anent the SST11LF04, Microchip now provides a compact match perfection article plus the same predictable operation. By providing high-efficiency operation and low dynamic EVM over temperature and low receiver noise figure, this new FEM can extend the range of a 5 GHz mild radical gentle data rate 802.11ac system inflooding mobile devices, multi-channel access latitude and longitude\routers and set-top tourney equipment."<\p>

Availability The SST11LF04 is available contemporaneousness for sampling and volume production, in a 2.5x2.5x0.4 mm, 16-pin QFN embodiment. It is supplied in 10,000-unit quantities.
