QPA9219 High Linearity 0.25 W Small Cell PA (R) General Description The QPA9219 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 30.4 dB gain over the 1930-1995 MHz frequency range covering 3GPP Bands 2, 25, 36 without the need of linearization circuitry such as DPD. It is able to achieve -50dBc ACLR at +24 dBm output power using 20 MHz LTE signal (9.5 dB PAR). 14 Pin 7x7mm Leadless SMT Package The QPA9219 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 RoHS-compliant 7x7mm surface mount package. Product Features The QPA9219 is targeted for small cell or enterprise Femtocell basestation applications, distributed antenna systems (DAS), repeaters, and/or booster amplifiers. * 30.4dB Gain * 1930-1995MHz Frequency Range * Fully integrated, 2-Stage Power Amplifier * Internally Matched 50 Input/Output * -50dBc ACLR at Pavg = +24dBm * 14% PAE at +24dBm * >10dB Input / Output return Loss * 207mA Quiescent Current * On-chip Control Bias and Temp.
