QPC9314 High Power Switch LNA Module (R) Product Overview The Qorvo(R) QPC9314 is a highly integrated front-end module targeted for TDD macro or picocell base stations. The LNA switch module integrates RF functional blocks such as a pin-diode based high power switch capable of handling up to 52 W with an LTE signal (8 dB PAR) along with two LNA stages, and a 1-bit DSA to provide a high and low gain mode. Further integration is also implemented where the pin diode driver and dc-dc converter circuits are implemented inside the module to enable only the need for an external 5 V power supply. The control voltage for the switch and gain control. mode is with 3.3 V logic. 16 Pin 8 mm x 8 mm leadless SMT Package Key Features The QPC9314 can be utilized across the 2.3-2.7 GHz range to provide 1.2 dB noise figure for operation in the receive mode and 0.5 dB insertion loss in the transmit mode. The LNAs utilize Qorvo's high performance E-pHEMT process while the switch allows for power levels up to 330 W peak power to be routed to an external load termination. The QPC9314 is packaged in a RoHS-compliant, compact 8x8 mm surface-mount leadless package. The switch LNA module is targeted for wireless infrastructure applications configured for TDD-based architectures. * 2.3-2.7 GHz frequency range * Integrates a high power switch, two LNA stages, a 1-bit DSA, pin diode driver circuits, and dc converter * Ideal for TDD systems with an isolator * Only requires a 5 V supply with 3.3 V logic Ctrl. * Max RF Input power: 52 W Pavg (8 dB PAR) * 33 or 24 dB gain (Rx high and Rx low gain mode) * 1.2 dB noise figure * +33 dBm OIP3 (Rx mode) * 0.65 dB Insertion Loss (Tx mode) * Compact package size, 8x8 mm Functional Block Diagram Applications * Wireless Infrastructure * Macro or picocell base stations * TDD-based architectures Ordering Information Top View Datasheet, May 2, 2018 | Subject to change without notice Part No. Description QPC9314TR13 2500 pcs on a 13" reel QPC9314SR 100 pcs on a 7" reel QPC9314EVB Evaluation board 1 of 11 www.qorvo.com QPC9314 High Power Switch LNA Module (R) Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Recommended Operating Conditions Rating Parameter -50 to 150 C Storage Temperature Max Operating Temperature VCC VCC Min Typ Max Units +4.75 +5 +5.25 V +115 C T/R Mode Low Voltage 0 0.8 V +6 V T/R Mode High Voltage 2.0 3.6 V RF at ANT (Tx Mode) (1) +47.2 dBm TCASE -40 +105 C RF at ANT (Tx Mode) (2) +44.2 dBm Tj for >106 hours MTTF(4) +190 C (3) +46.0 dBm Notes: 4.
