TQL9063 Ultra Low Noise Bypass LNA RFMD + TriQuint = Qorvo Applications Base Station Receivers Tower Mount Amplifiers Repeaters FDD-LTE, TDD-LTE, WCDMA General Purpose Wireless 8-pin 2x2 mm DFN Package Product Features Functional Block Diagram 0.7 - 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 1.95GHz 19 dB Gain at 1.95GHz +36.3 dBm Output IP3 in LNA Mode +39 dBm Input IP3 in Bypass Mode Internally matched Positive supply only, +3.3 to +5V 2x2 mm 8-pin DFN plastic package Pin 1 Reference Mark GND 1 8 VDD RF In 2 7 RF Out VBYP 3 6 VSD N/C 4 5 N/C Backside Paddle - RF/DC GND General Description Pin Configuration The TQL9063 is a high-linearity, ultra-low noise gain block amplifier with a bypass mode functionality integrated in the product. At 1.95GHz, the amplifier typically provides 19 dB gain, +36.3 dBm OIP3, and 0.7 dB noise figure while drawing 77 mA current from a +5V supply. The component also provides high linearity in the bypass mode with +39 dBm IIP3. The TQL9063 is internally matched using a high performance 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 0.7-4.0 GHz frequency band and is targeted for wireless infrastructure. The TQL9063 is packaged in a 2x2mm DFN.
