General Description
The TQP369185 is a general-purpose buffer amplifier
that offers high dynamic range in a low
-cost surface-
mount package. At 1.9 GHz, the amplifier typically
provides
19 dB gain, +31.7 dBm OIP3, and 4.6 dB
Noise Figure while drawing
75
mA current. The device
combines dependable performance with consistent
quality to maintain MTTF values exceeding 100 years at
mounting temperatures of +85°C. The device is housed
in a lead
-free/green/RoHS-compliant industry-standard
SOT
-89 package.
The TQP36
9185 consists of a Darlington-
pair amplifier
using TriQuint’s high reliability InGaP/GaAs HBT
process technology. Internal active bias enables
ope
ration with only DC-blocking capacitors
and an RF
choke
on the DC bias feed. This
broadband MMIC
amplifier can be directly applied to various current and
next generation wireless technologies such as CDMA,
W
-CDMA, and LTE. In addition, the TQP369185 will
work for other various applications within the DC to 6
GHz frequency range.

Notes:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters. Angles are in degrees.
2. Use 1 oz. copper minimum for top and bottom layer metal.
3. Vias are required under the backside paddle of this device for proper RF/DC grounding and thermal dissipation.
4. Do not remove or minimize via hole structure in the PCB. Thermal and RF grounding is critical.
5. We recommend a 0.35mm (#80/.0135") diameter bit for drilling via holes and a final plated thru diameter of 0.25 mm (0.10”).
6. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
