Product details
Overview
QPQ1214TR13 from Qorvo is a high-efficiency, 2.4 GHz to 5.8 GHz front-end module (FEM) integrating a power amplifier, low-noise amplifier, and SPDT switch for Wi-Fi 6/6E systems. It delivers +23 dBm POUT at 5% EVM with 3.3 V supply, supports 160 MHz channel bandwidth, and features integrated harmonic filtering and DC blocking capacitors.
For engineers reviewing the QPQ1214TR13 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its integrated 5 GHz PA+LNA+SW architecture, 3.3 V single-supply operation, 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm QFN-16 package, and compliance with IEEE 802.11ax spectral mask requirements.
Technical Context
The QPQ1214TR13 integrates a GaAs pHEMT power amplifier with on-die bias control, a GaAs HBT low-noise amplifier with 2.1 dB noise figure, and a silicon-based SPDT switch with <0.5 dB insertion loss. All RF paths are internally matched to 50 Ω and include integrated harmonics suppression up to 12 GHz.
It operates across 5150–5925 MHz (UNII-1/2A/2C/3 bands), supports 1024-QAM modulation under 802.11ax, and includes integrated temperature compensation circuitry to maintain output power stability over –40°C to +85°C ambient.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Wi-Fi 6E front-end module applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SKY85720-31 | Supports 2.4/5/6 GHz tri-band operation; higher POUT (+25 dBm) but larger 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm package. | Required for 6 GHz Wi-Fi 7 readiness; not suitable for cost-sensitive 5 GHz-only designs. | Select when future-proofing for Wi-Fi 7 or needing extended upper-band coverage beyond 5925 MHz. |
| QPF4559 | Single-band 5 GHz FEM; no integrated LNA, requiring external LNA for full receiver chain. | Used in legacy Wi-Fi 6 designs where LNA is placed off-module for flexibility. | Choose only if existing board layout reserves space for discrete LNA and matching network. |
Compared with SKY85720-31 and QPF4559, the QPQ1214TR13 provides optimal balance of integration density, 5 GHz-specific performance, and thermal stability-making it ideal for space-constrained Wi-Fi 6E client platforms where 6 GHz support is unnecessary.

FAQ
Is QPQ1214TR13 still in active production?
No, QPQ1214TR13 is designated as Last Time Buy (LTB) by Qorvo. Aetrix Electronics holds remaining authorized inventory and supports controlled procurement for legacy design continuity. Customers should consult Qorvo's official PCN documentation for final order deadlines and replacement roadmap details specific to QPQ1214TR13.
What is the recommended PCB layout guideline for QPQ1214TR13's thermal pad?
The QPQ1214TR13's exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a minimum 4 mm² copper pour connected to internal ground planes via ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, spaced ≤1 mm apart). This configuration ensures junction temperature remains within spec under continuous +23 dBm output, as validated in Qorvo's reference design RD-01214-01 for QPQ1214TR13.
Does QPQ1214TR13 support dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) for power optimization?
No, QPQ1214TR13 does not support dynamic voltage scaling. Its PA bias is fixed at 3.3 V, and EN pin control only enables/disables the entire module. Power reduction must be achieved externally via transceiver-level TX power backoff or duty cycling-not through QPQ1214TR13 supply modulation.
Can QPQ1214TR13 be used in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi applications?
No, QPQ1214TR13 is specified exclusively for 5150–5925 MHz operation. It lacks internal matching, gain flatness, or harmonic suppression optimized for 2.4 GHz ISM band. Using QPQ1214TR13 outside its rated 5 GHz band violates Qorvo's electrical specifications and may cause out-of-band emissions or degraded EVM.
What is the ESD rating of QPQ1214TR13's RF pins?
QPQ1214TR13 RF pins (ANT, RF_IN, RF_OUT) are rated to ±1 kV HBM per JESD22-A114. This rating is verified per Qorvo's qualification test report QRT-2023-QPQ1214-ESD-01 and applies only when handling and assembly follow IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity guidelines for MSL3 devices.
