WLAN8201CMP

Product Overview

WLAN8201CMP from NXP USA Inc. is a WLAN RF front-end module used in RF front-end designs that need integrated transmit, receive, switching or low-noise signal-chain functions. This description focuses on practical RF parameters such as band coverage, PA/LNA path behavior, control requirements and package compatibility.

The exact orderable suffix should be matched before purchase because RF front-end devices often vary by band plan, pinout, reel format, qualification grade and control-state truth table.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: NXP USA Inc.
• Part Number: WLAN8201CMP
• Device Type: WLAN RF front-end module
• RF Band / Frequency Range: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WLAN band depending on WLAN7xxx/WLAN8xxx suffix
• Transmit / PA Path: Integrated Wi-Fi PA path with matching and filtering support for WLAN transmitter chains
• Receive / LNA Path: Integrated LNA and switch/bypass functions depending on the module variant
• Output Power / Linearity: WLAN output power, current and EVM are suffix-specific; verify Ampleon/NXP module data sheet before substitution
• Control / Bias: Logic control for transmit, receive, bypass and antenna path selection depending on module
• System Impedance: 50 Ω RF interface where specified by the device reference design or data sheet
• Package / Case: Compact RF FEM package, CY/CZ/HCZ/HY/CMP suffix defines mechanical option
• Operating Temperature: RF front-end module temperature range is suffix-specific; verify industrial or automotive grade before sourcing
• Design Notes: Use the exact WLAN7xxx/WLAN8xxx suffix to maintain band coverage, FEM truth table and PCB footprint compatibility.

Applications

Wi-Fi client modules, access points, embedded WLAN cards and mobile wireless devices.

Also suitable for engineering replacements, shortage support and BOM consolidation where the same RF band, package footprint and control interface must be maintained.

Quality & Sourcing

Antrex Electronics can support sourcing for WLAN8201CMP through available stock checks, BOM consolidation and alternative-lot review. For RF front-end modules, packaging condition, date code, MSL handling, reel labeling and moisture exposure should be checked before shipment.

For project builds, repair support or shortage coverage, Antrex Electronics can coordinate visual inspection, package verification and third-party testing when required. This helps buyers reduce risk when sourcing hard-to-find or lifecycle-sensitive RF front-end components.
