QPA9154 2.3 3.8 GHz 100 Differential Output Gain Block Product Overview The QPA9154 is a 50 single-ended input to 100 differential output, wideband gain block. It is well suited as the 5G m-MIMO BTS Rx path final gain stage, to directly interface with the ADC of the transceiver, eliminating the need for a discrete balun. 12-pin, 2x2mm SMT Package This amplifier delivers exceptional performance with 19dB of small signal gain and 35 dBm output 3rd order intercept (OIP3). The amplifier has excellent gain flatness of 0.5 dB Key Features over any 400 MHz bandwidth and a CMRR of 35 dB. The 2.33.8 GHz Operational Frequency amplifier features a shut-down function through VPD pin control. 100 Ohm Differential Output 50 Ohm Single-Ended Input The QPA9154 is optimized over 2.3-3.8 GHz band and is 19 dB Gain at 2.6 GHz housed in a compact 2 x 2 mm SMT package. +34 dBm OIP3 +18.5 dBm P1dB Small 2x2mm SMT Package Functional Block Diagram Applications 5G m-MIMO Mobile Infrastructure General Purpose Wireless TDD / FDD System Ordering Information Part No. Description QPA9154TR7 2500 pcs on 7 reel (standard) QPA9154EVB-01 Differential Output Evaluation Board Top View Datasheet, Rev.
