    Qorvo's RF5501 is designed specifically for high-performance Wi-Fi applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM band, including Personal Media Players (PMPs), digital cameras, and Wi-Fi enabled handsets. The RF5501 integrates the LNA with bypass and an SP3T switch of a front end solution for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® combination systems. The integrated input and output match reduces the number of external components, keeping cost down and utilizing minimum layout area for implementation. The RF5501 is provided in a 2mm x 2mm x 0.5mm, 12-pin QFN package. This LNA + Switch front end solution meets or exceeds the specification requirements of IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi RF systems.
