Supply NXP WLAN7001CZ Wireless LAN 5 GHz RF Front-End IC

Product Description
WLAN7001CZ is a fully integrated RF front-end MMIC for 802.11a/n/ac WLANs with channel bandwidths up to 80 MHz.It includes a low-noise amplifier, a single-pole-double-throw switch required for TDD operation. It also includes a transmit power amplifier and an integrated power detector covering the entire ISM band. Harmonic and coexistence filters are integrated, with an RX bypass mode for high-power signal processing and a low-power TX mode for optimised power efficiency.
