QPA9801 1805 2400 MHz 1/4W Balanced Amplifier General Description The QPA9801 is a balanced amplifier module with embedded hybrid couplers to convert to single ended input and output ports. The module has an enable pin to allow for shutting down of the amplifier. The module requires minimal external components which are VCC choke inductors, decoupling caps and resistors for bias control. 16 Pad 5x5mm leadless SMT Package The QPA9801 provides 26 dBm P1dB with 20 dB gain and 42 dBm OIP3 across a wide frequency range of 1805-2400 Product Features MHz to cover the 3GPP Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 23 and 30. The linear driver amplifier is targeted for use in wireless 18052400 MHz infrastructure where high linearity, medium power and high Balanced Amplifier with integrated 3 dB hybrids integration is required. The balanced amplifier configuration Internally Matched 50 Input / Output provides very good input and output VSWR and is Shutdown Mode with 1.8V logic control especially ideal as the output stage in a Macrocell 20 dB Gain transceiver board that connects to the high power amplifier +41.6 dBm OIP3 (HPA) board through a long cable or microstrip trace. The QPA9801 is packaged in a small 5x 5mm leadless +26.4 dBm P1dB package that is internally matched to 50 on all RF ports. Good gain flatness across Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 23, 30 Functional Block Diagram Applications Wireless Infrastructure Macro BTS Transceivers Booster Amps, Repeaters Ordering Information Part No. Description QPA9801TR13 2,500 pieces on a 13 reel (standard) QPA9801PCB401 1805 2400MHz Evaluation Board Top View Datasheet, November 1, 2020 Subject to change without notice - 1 of 13 - www.qorvo.com QPA9801 1805 2400 MHz 1/4W Balanced Amplifier Absolute Maximum Ratings Recommended Operating Conditions Parameter Rating Parameter Min Typ Max Units Storage Temperature 40 to +150C Device Voltage (VCC A&B) +3.30 +5 +5.25 V RF Input Power, CW, 50, T=25C +22 dBm Enable (High) +1.17 +1.8 +3.6 V Supply Voltage (VCC) +6.0 V Enable (Low) 0 +0.63 V Enable Voltage (Enable +5.5 V T 40 +105 C ) CASE 6 Exceeding any one or a combination of the Absolute Maximum Rating Tj for >10 hours MTTF +190 C conditions may cause permanent damage to the device.
