RFMD to Unveil Highly-Integrated FEM for Smart Energy/Advanced Metering Infrastructure
and ISM Band Applications
 Las
Vegas, January 8, 2013 – RF Micro Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq GS: RFMD), a global leader in the design
and manufacture of high-performance RF components, announced today it will unveil a highly-integrated
front end module (FEM) for Smart Energy/Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) applications
at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. RFMD’s single-chip
RFFM6403 FEM delivers industry-leading performance, reduces customer design time and speeds
customer time-to-market in Smart Energy/AMI applications operating in the 405MHz–475MHz frequency
range, as well as for portable battery powered equipment and general 433/470MHz ISM band systems.
Preliminary Specifications:
 
The feature-rich
RFFM6403 integrates a transmit high power path with a +30.5dBm PA and Tx harmonic output
filtering, a transmit bypass thru path with Tx harmonic output filtering, and a receive path
with a low noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass mode. The FEM also features a low insertion loss/high
isolation SP3T switch and separate Rx/Tx 50Ω ports, simplifying matching and providing input
and output signals for both the Tx and Rx paths.
The
RFFM6403 is designed for AMI systems operating with high efficiency requirements and a minimum
output power of 30 dBm. In the receive path, the Rx chain provides 16 dB of typical gain with
only 5 mA of current and an excellent noise figure of 1.7 dB. The high level of integration
and industry-leading form factor (6mm x 6mm x 1mm) minimize product footprint at the customer
device while reducing external component count and associated assembly costs.

showcase its broad portfolio of Smart Energy/AMI, ZigBee, and ISM band solutions from January
8 to January 11, at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in the ZigBee Alliance Pavilion, in South
Hall 1, booth 20612, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
