RFX242 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Skyworks Solutions RFX242 is a single-chip, single-die RF power amplifier optimized for transmit power amplification in IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ac applications within the 2.4GHz frequency range. This CMOS process device delivers a high gain of 30dB and up to 25dBm linear output power, meeting stringent linearity standards for OFDM and CCK modulation.

 

Key features include support for 802.11ac 256-QAM with low EVM (<1.8% at 23dBm or <3% at 25dBm), integrated power detector for monitoring and control, and on-chip input/output matching for simplified RF front-end implementation. The device operates at 5V and consumes very low DC power.

 

Designed for ease of integration, the RFX242 is assembled in a compact 3.0x3.0mm 16L-QFN package with an exposed ground pad. It requires minimal external components, making it suitable for applications such as high-power WLAN AP/Routers, outdoor hotspots, Wi-Fi extenders, set-top boxes, home gateways, and enterprise/SOHO Wi-Fi networks.
