General Description
The TQP9309 is a high-efficiency two-stage power
amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package with on-chip
bias control and temperature compensation circuitry,
suitable for small cell base station applications.
TQP9309 provides 32 dB gain and >+28 dBm linear power
with pre-distortion correction over the 0.7-1.0 GHz
frequency range for Bands 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 20, 26,
27, 28, and 29. With pre-distortion, the amplifier is able to
achieve -50dBc ACLR at 28 dBm output power using a 20
MHz LTE signal.
The TQP9309 integrates two high performance amplifier
stages onto a module to allow for a compact system design
and requires very few external components for operation.
The amplifier is bias adjustable allowing the amplifier’s
power consumption to be optimized. The TQP9309 is
available in a lead-free/RoHS-compliant 3.5x4.5mm
surface mount package and is pin-compatible to the 1.8-2.2
GHz TQP9321 and 2.5-2.7 GHz TQP9326.

PCB Mounting Pattern
Recommend PCB land-pad pattern metallization (Top View)
Recommended PCB solder mask opening (Top View)
Notes:
1. A heat sink underneath the area of the PCB for the mounted device is strictly required for proper thermal operation. Damage to the
device can occur without the use of one.
2. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a .35mm (#80 / .0135”) diameter drill
and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010”).
3. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance.
