TQP9221 High Linearity 0.25 W Small Cell PA (R) General Description The TQP9221 is a high-linearity two-stage power amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package with on-chip bias control and temperature compensation circuits. The amplifier provides 30.5 dB gain over the 2010-2200 MHz frequency range and be utilized without the need of linearization circuitry such as DPD It is able to achieve -49dBc ACLR at +24 dBm output power using 20 MHz LTE signal (9.5 dB PAR). The TQP9221 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 product is bias adjustable allowing the amplifier's power consumption to be optimized and is available in a lead-free/RoHS-compliant 7x7mm surface mount package. 14 Pin 7x7mm Leadless SMT Package Product Features * 2010-2200MHz Frequency Range * Fully integrated, 2-Stage Power Amplifier * Internally Matched 50 Input & Output * -49dBc ACLR at Pavg = +24dBm * 30.5dB Gain The TQP9221 is targeted for small cell or enterprise Femtocell basestation applications, distributed antenna systems (DAS), repeaters, and/or booster amplifiers. * 15% PAE at +24dBm * 220mA Quiescent Current * On-chip Control Bias and Temp.
