TQP3M9018 High Linearity LNA Gain Block RFMD + TriQuint = Qorvo Applications Repeaters Mobile Infrastructure LTE / WCDMA / CDMA / EDGE General Purpose Wireless 16 Pin 3x3 mm QFN Package Product Features 20-4000 MHz 20.5 dB Gain at 1900 MHz 1.3 dB Noise Figure at 1900 MHz +37 dBm Output IP3 50 Ohm Cascadable Gain Block Unconditionally Stable High Input Power Capability +5 V Single Supply, 85mA Current 3x3 mm QFN Package N/C N/C N/C N/C Pin 1 Reference Mark 16 15 14 13 12 N/C RF In 2 11 RF Out / VDD N/C 3 10 N/C N/C 4 9 N/C 6 N/C 5 7 8 N/C 1 N/C N/C N/C Functional Block Diagram Backside Pad - RF/DC GND General Description Pin Configuration The TQP3M9018 is a cascadable, high linearity gain block amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package. At 1.9 GHz, this amplifier typically provides 20.5 dB gain, +37 dBm output IP3 and 1.3 dB noise figure while only drawing 85 mA current. The device is housed in a leadfree / green / RoHS-compliant industry-standard 16-pin 3x3mm QFN package. Pin No. Label 2 11 All Other Pins Backside Paddle RF In RF Out / VDD N/C RF/DC GND The TQP3M9018 has the benefit of having high gain across a broad range of frequencies while also providing very low noise. This allows the device to be used in both receiver and transmitter chains for high performance systems. The amplifier is internally matched using a high performance E-pHEMT process and requires only an external RF choke and blocking/bypass capacitors for operation from a single +5 V supply. The internal active bias circuit also provides stable operation over bias and temperature variations. Ordering Information The TQP3M9018 covers the 0.02-4 GHz frequency band and is targeted for wireless infrastructure or other applications requiring high linearity and/or low noise figure.
