QPA2463C 50 MHz4000MHz Active Bias Cascadable SiGe HBT Amplifier General Description Qorvos QPA2463C is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with a patented active bias network. The active bias network provides stable current over temperature and process variations. Designed to run directly from a 3V supply, the QPA2463C does not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical Darlington amplifiers. The QPA2463C is designed for high linearity 3V gain block applications that require small size 6 Lead SOT-363 Package and minimal external components. It is internally matched to 50. Product Features Single Fixed 3V Supply No Dropping Resistor Required Patented Self-Bias Circuitry P1dB=+10.8dBm at 1950MHz OIP3=+22.2dBm at 1950MHz Robust 1000V ESD, Class 1C HBM Functional Block Diagram Applications Instrumentation Repeaters Boosters PA Driver Amplifier Cellular, PCS, GSM, UMTS IF Amplifier Wireless Data, Satellite Top View Ordering Information Part No. Description QPA2463CTR7 3000 pieces on a 7 reel (standard) QPA2463CPCK401 850MHz, EVB with 5 Piece Sample Bag Datasheet Rev.
