QPA9122 2.3 5.0 GHz 0.5 W Driver Amplifier Product Overview The QPA9122 is a wideband, high gain, and high peak power driver amplifier. It provides 36dB gain at 2.6GHz and achieves a peak power of 27dBm P3dB. With a quiescent current of 95mA, the amplifier can provide good DPD linearity performance with wideband signals of up to 160 MHz IBW making it perfectly suited for m-MIMO 16 Pad 3x3mm Laminate Package applications. The QPA9122 is internally match to 50 over the entire Key Features operating frequency band of 2.3 5.0 GHz and 2.35.0 GHz Operational Frequency incorporates a shut-down function through the VPD pin. 50 Matched RF Input and Output The QPA9122 is housed in a 16-pin 3X3mm SMT package +27 dBm P3dB and is footprint and pin-compatible to QPA9120 and 36.0dB Gain at 2.6 GHz QPA9121. +5V Single Supply, ICQ 95mA DC Power Shutdown Feature Functional Block Diagram Applications 5G m-MIMO Pin 1 Reference Mark V PD NC NC V BIAS Mobile Infrastructure 16 15 14 13 General Purpose Wireless TDD / FDD System NC 1 12 NC Bias 2 11 RFOUT/V RFIN CC3 NC 3 10 RFOUT/V CC3 Ordering Information V /V 4 9 NC CC1 CC2 5 6 7 8 Part No. Description NC NC NC NC QPA9122TR7 2500 pcs on 7 reel (standard) Backside Paddle RF/DC GND QPA9122EVB-01 Evaluation Board Top View Data Sheet, May 14, 2020 Subject to change without notice 1 of 12 www.qorvo.com QPA9122 2.3 5.0 GHz 0.5 W Driver Amplifier Absolute Maximum Ratings Recommended Operating Conditions Parameter Rating Parameter Min Typ Max Units Storage Temperature -65 to +150C Supply Voltage (VCC) +4.75 +5 +5.25 V TCASE -40 to +125C TCASE -40 +105 C 6 RF Input Power, ON state, CW, T=25C, Tj for >10 hours MTTF +218 C +10 dBm 2:1 VSWR, In-band Electrical specifications are measured at specified test conditions.
