RFMD Introduces RF3858 Front End Module for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Other 900 MHz ISM Band
Applications
![Visit RFMD](../images/rfmd-logo.jpg) GREENSBORO,
N.C., Jun 15, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) -- RF Micro Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq:RFMD), a global
leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency components and compound semiconductor
technologies, today announced the availability of the
RF3858 front end module (FEM). The
RF3858 FEM supports multiple Tx/Rx applications in the 900 MHz ISM band, including Smart Energy/Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI).
The highly integrated, single-chip
RF3858 addresses the increasing requirements for aggressive size reductions in the RF front end designs for
portable equipment. The RF3858 combines a 1-watt 915 MHz power amplifier capable of 31.5 dBm of output power, with
a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) Tx/Rx transfer switch with low insertion loss and high isolation, a low noise
amplifier (LNA) with bypass mode, and a Tx harmonic filter.
The
RF3858 reduces the number of external components by approximately 80% versus discrete designs, greatly
minimizing product footprint, accelerating design-in time and reducing overall assembly costs. The
RF3858 is packaged in a small 8.0 mm x 8.0 mm x 1.2 mm over-molded laminate package with backside ground,
minimizing next level board space and allowing for simplified integration.
Pricing and
Availability
The
RF3858 is priced at $2.28 in quantities of 10,000 and is available immediately.
