    Qorvo's RFFM8550 provides a complete integrated switch + LNA solution in a single Front End Module (FEM) for Wi-Fi 802.11a/n/ac systems. The ultra-small form factor and integrated matching greatly reduces the number of external components and layout area in the customer applications. This simplifies the total front end solution by reducing the bill of materials, system footprint, and manufacturing cost. The RFFM8550 integrates a Single Pole Two Throw (SP2T) Transmit/Receive (T/R) Switch and a 5.0GHz Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with bypass mode. The device is provided in a 1.5mm x 1.5mm x 0.40mm 8-pin DFN package.
