PE562212 – Smallest, Fully Integrated RF-SOI FEM from pSemi

pSemi® Corporation, a Murata company, is at the forefront of designing and developing RF silicon-on-insulator (RF SOI) technology that facilitates complete front-end module (FEM) integration. They have now launched the world’s smallest integrated PA-LNA-SW Internet of Things (IoT) FEM: the PE562212.

PE562212A from pSemi

The PE562212 is a high-performance, fully integrated FEM designed for Thread and Zigbee® applications as well as Bluetooth® (including Bluetooth Low Energy). The PE562212 is also capable of low-to-medium Wi-Fi® throughput for devices that require FW upgrades or applications with the need for increased data traffic.

2.4 GHz SOI IoT Front-End Module from pSemi

The PE562212’s ultra-compact design provides PCB space savings and easier board routing with 50-ohm I/O interfaces requiring no external matching. The FEM also offers excellent ESD and ruggedness for all intended applications and environmental conditions inherent to the IoT space. It is designed for ease of use and maximum flexibility.

Key Features

It is manufactured on pSemi’s UltraCMOS® process, a patented advanced form of silicon-on insulator (SOI) technology.

  • Integrated PA with up to +21 dBm output power
  • Digital gain control with 15 dB range, 1 dB steps
  • Integrated LNA (1.6 dB NF, typ.) with low-loss bypass path (0.6 dB, typ.)
  • Bluetooth BDR (+21 dBm) and EDR (+15 dBm) operation
  • Low-to-medium throughput Wi-Fi (MCS7) capability
  • Minimal external components required (bypass cap on VCC and VDD)
  • Packaging – Ultra-compact 14-lead 1.8 × 1.8 × 0.63 mm LGA (MSL3)

Applications

It is designed with both efficiency and linearity in mind as it enables higher data rate applications such as Wi-Fi, striking the delicate balance of adequate linear power with power efficiency.
