Caution
!
Setting the switch in the wrong state (RX or BT) during the TX mode (PA turned on, Vref and
Vcc voltages applied) may damage the FEM if the output power is high (>+17 dBm). Please
make sure that the software which controls the FEM does not allow this state during system
operation or calibration. Alternatively, using the modified application circuit (see page 20) will
force this state not to happen on hardware level.

LTCC FEM
4.5 x 3.2 x 1.4 mm
The D6101 front-end module is intended for mobile phone
applications, where size is a critical parameter.
The D6101 FEM allows to realize a simple and very
compact reference design with minimum BOM count for
Bluetooth and WLAN application. A common antenna is
shared between the WLAN and the Bluetooth radios.

Bluetooth IC
All RF ports are 50 Ohm matched. WLAN RX ports are matched to 100 Ohm differential impedance.
All RF ports except for Bluetooth RX/TX are internally DC-decoupled. For the Bluetooth port an external DCdecoupling capacitors may be required (this pin is coupled with DC voltage).

important notes at the end of this document.

D6101
2.4 GHz
Preliminary Data
For PA power supply, one external capacitor (C5=4.7uF) should be connected to the PA Vcc pin. If such a large
capacitor is already used somewhere else in the reference design, it might be redundant.
The Vcc pin (PA power supply) can be operated from an unregulated battery voltage. The PA reference voltage
pin (Vref) needs a stabilized voltage provided either from an external LDO voltage regulator or directly taken
from the power management IC of the WLAN chipset. Usually an additional series resistor (R5) between the
D6101 FEM and the voltage regulator is required to set the correct voltage level on the Vref pin. If the available
regulated voltage is in the range of 2.8±0.1V, the recommended R5 value is 51..68 Ohm. The R5 value can be
reduced for better linearity or increased for better efficiency.
The switch control lines may need additional external RC elements (R1..R3, C1..C3) acting as low-pass filters to
shape the switching transients coming from the WLAN IC (depending on the switching characteristics, these
R,C may be not required).
The power detect signal filtering is integrated inside the FEM (10 kOhm, 5 pF, IF bandwidth = 20 MHz). An
additional series resistor (R4) might be applied to set the right detector voltage level for a specific WLAN
chipset.
Alternative application circuit
Setting the switch in the wrong state (RX or BT) during the TX mode (PA turned on, Vref and Vcc voltages
applied) may damage the FEM if the output power is high (>+17 dBm). This happens due to a very strong
reflected signal from the turned off switch, which can damage the power amplifier circuitry. In case it can not be
guaranteed that this forbidden control pin combination does not happen during the system operation or
calibration the following modified application circuit has to be used:

Preliminary Data
TX control pin of the switch (Vc2) should be connected with the line used to turn the PA on and off. In this case,
the switch TX control will be always “high” when the PA is on. This significantly reduces the level of the signal
reflected to the PA output and guarantees that the PAs are not damaged.

Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for certain areas of
application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical requirements that are often placed on our
products in the areas of application concerned. We nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be
regarded as binding statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a
rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them than the customers
themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the customer to check and decide whether an
EPCOS product with the properties described in the product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer
application.
We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of passive electronic components or failure before the
end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state of the art, even if they are
operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high level of operational safety and especially in
customer applications in which the malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component could endanger human life
or health (e.g. in accident prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design
of the customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry or redundancy)
that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component.
The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this publication may contain
substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g. because they are classed as “hazardous”).
Useful information on this will be found in our Material Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should
you have any more detailed questions, please contact our sales offices.
We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this publication may change
from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product specifications. Please check therefore to what extent
product descriptions and specifications contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an
order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently, we cannot
guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.
Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current version of the “General Terms
