TQL9063 Ultra Low-Noise, Bypass LNA (R) Product Overview The TQL9063 is a high-linearity, ultra-low noise gain block amplifier with a bypass mode functionality integrated in the product. At 1.95 GHz, the amplifier typically provides 19 dB gain, +36.3 dBm OIP3, and 0.7 dB noise figure while drawing 77 mA current from a +5 V supply. The component also provides high linearity in the bypass mode with +39 dBm IIP3. The TQL9063 is internally matched using a highperformance E-pHEMT process and only requires four external components for operation from a single positive supply: an external RF choke and blocking/bypass capacitors. This low noise amplifier contains an internal active bias to maintain high performance over temperature. The TQL9063 covers the 0.5 - 4.0 GHz frequency band and is targeted for wireless infrastructure. The TQL9063 is packaged in a 2 x 2 mm DFN. 8-pin 2x2 mm DFN Package Key Features 0.5 - 4.0 GHz Operational bandwidth LNA with integrated bypass mode Ability to turn LNA and bypass mode OFF Ultra low noise, 0.7 dB at 1.95 GHz 19 dB Gain at 1.95 GHz +36.3 dBm Output IP3 in LNA Mode +39 dBm Input IP3 in Bypass Mode Internally matched Positive supply only, +3.3 to +5 V 2x2 mm 8-pin DFN plastic package Functional Block Diagram Applications Pin 1 Reference Mark GND 1 8 VDD RF In 2 7 RF Out VBYP 3 6 VSD N/C 4 5 N/C Base Station Receivers Tower Mount Amplifiers Repeaters FDD-LTE, TDD-LTE, WCDMA General Purpose Wireless Backside Paddle - RF/DC GND Top View Ordering Information Part No. TQL9063 TQL9063-PCB Description 500-4000 MHz Bypass LNA 500-4000 MHz Evaluation Board Standard T/R size = 2500 pieces on a 7" reel Data Sheet, June 5, 2017 | Subject to change without notice 1 of 12 www.qorvo.com TQL9063 Ultra Low-Noise, Bypass LNA (R) Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Storage Temperature RF Input Power, CW, 50 , T=+25 C Device Voltage (VDD) Rating -65 to 150 C +22 dBm +7 V Operation of this device outside the parameter ranges given above may cause permanent damage.
