    Key Features

    • Tx Output Power: 22dBm
    • Tx Gain : 28dB
    • Rx Gain: 11.5dB
    • Rx NF: 2.5dB
    • Integrated LNA With Bypass Mode

    Qorvo's RF6525 integrates a complete solution in a single Front End Module (FEM) for Zigbee® applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz band. This FEM integrates the PA plus harmonic filter in the transmit path and the LNA with bypass mode in the receive side. It also integrates a diversity switch and provides balanced input and output signals for both the Tx and Rx paths respectively. The RF6525 FEM is ideal for Zigbee® systems operating with a minimum output power of 20dBm and high efficiency requirements. On the receive path, the Rx Chain provides 11.5dB of typical gain with only 7mA of current and excellent NF of 2.5dB. This FEM meets or exceeds the system requirements for Zigbee® applications operating in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz band.
