RF6509

2.7V TO 3.6V MODULE FOR INTEGRATION

WITH 900MHz SMART ENERGY AMI

The RF6509 integrates a complete solution in a single Front-End Module (FEM) for

AMR and Smart Grid solutions. The RF6509 integrates a 915MHz PA, some trans-

mit (Tx) filtering, input and output switches, a Tx or receive (Rx) attenuation path,

and an LNA with bypass mode. The RF6509 has a single-ended input and output

for optimized ease of use and implementation. The pin-out of the FEM enables

users to implement additional filtering external to the module, if needed. The device

is provided in a LGA, 32 pin, 8mm x 8mm x 1.2mm package.
