RFFM6500

2.7V to 4.2V, 168MHz to 171MHz ISM Band

Transmit/Receive Module

The RFFM6500 is a single-chip front end module (FEM) for application

in the 168MHz to 171MHz ISM Band. The RFFM6500 addresses the

need for aggressive size reduction for typical portable equipment RF

front end designs and greatly reduces the number of components

outside of the core chipset thus minimizing the footprint and assembly

cost of the overall solution. The RFFM6500 contains an integrated 1/2W

PA, Tx/Rx SP2T RF switch, low pass filter, Si logic controller, and

matching components. The RFFM6500 is packaged in a 32-pin, 6.0mm

x 6.0mm x 1.2mm over-molded laminate package.
