Vendor Introduction
Founded in January 2008, RFaxis Inc., headquatered in Irvine, California is an innovative
fabless semiconductor company specializing in the design and development of RF Front-end
Integrated Circuits (RFeIC). These first of their kind chips are designed to specifically
address the critical path needs of the burgeoning wireless market.
With its patent pending technologies, RFaxis leads the way in next-generation wireless solutions designed for the multi-billion dollar Bluetooth, WLAN, MIMO, Zigbee, WiMAX, and mobile phone markets. Leveraging BiCMOS process in conjunction with its own innovative approach and technology, RFaxis is home to the world's first RF Front-end Integrated Circuit (RFeIC).
RFaxis offers system designers and product developers highly integrated, single-chip, single-die RFeICs that significantly simplify the design task and substantially improve performance. Moreover, these ICs also drastically reduce the system noise and lower end product cost.
The world's first 5GHz WLAN RF front-end in pure CMOS.
The RFX5000 is a fully integrated, single-chip, single-die RFeIC (RF Front-end Integrated Circuit) which incorporates all the RF functionality needed for today's wireless communications. The RFX5000 architecture integrates the PA, LNA, Transmit and Receive switching circuitry, the associated matching network, and the harmonic filter all in a CMOS single-chip device. This RFeIC is designed for use in 802.11a/n applications operating in the 5-6GHz range.
Combining superior performance, high sensitivity and efficiency, low noise, small form factor, and low cost, the RFX5000 is the ideal solution for single antenna applications, and the ideal building block for MIMO applications. RFX5000 requires minimal external components including only the external power supply bypass and the desired band-pass filter for the receive path. A directional coupler based power detect circuit is also integrated for accurate monitoring of output power from the PA.
