Product Overview

RFPA5542TR13 is a three-stage integrated power amplifier module by Qorvo, designed for 802.11a/n/ac Wi-Fi applications, covering 4.9GHz to 5.925GHz. Built on advanced InGaP heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology, it features integrated 50Ω input/output matching networks, delivering 23dBm linear power (EVM<1.8%) with high power-added efficiency (PAE). Housed in a 4.0mm×4.0mm×0.90mm QFN package with integrated power detector and regulator, it simplifies external circuitry, meeting high-power requirements for IEEE802.11a/n/ac systems.

Key Features

• High Linearity Output：Supports 802.11ac 80MHz MCS9 modulation with <1.8% EVM at 23dBm, ensuring signal integrity for high-speed data transmission.
• Wide Frequency Coverage：Operates from 4.9GHz-5.925GHz, compatible with 20/40/80/160MHz channel widths for multi-generational Wi-Fi standards (802.11a/n/ac).
• High PAE Efficiency：Typical 33dB gain with efficient power usage at 25dBm output, reducing power consumption and heat for extended device runtime.
• Integrated Design：On-chip 50Ω matching, power detector, and regulator require minimal external components (e.g., decoupling caps), saving PCB space and BOM cost.
• Robust Reliability：Operates from -40°C to +85°C with 1500V ESD HBM protection, ensuring long-term stability in harsh environments.
