QPA4463A DC3500MHz Cascadable SiGe HBT Amplifier Product Overview The QPA4463A is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC amplifier. A Darlington configuration provides high FT and excellent thermal performance. The heterojunction increases breakdown voltage and minimizes leakage current between junctions. Cancellation of emitter junction non-linearities results in higher suppression of 6 Lead SOT-363 Package intermodulation products. The QPA4463A may be operated from a variety of supply Key Features voltages by using a voltage dropping resistor. Two DC- DC to 3500 MHz Operation blocking capacitors, bypass capacitors and an optional RF choke complete the circuit required for operation of this Single Positive Voltage Supply internally matched 50 ohm device. Gain: 16.3dB at 1950MHz Output IP3: +29.5dBm typical at 1950MHz The QPA4463A is assembled in an industry standard Noise Figure: 2.8dB Typical at 1950MHz SOT-363 package that is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
