QPB9329 Dual-Channel Switch LNA Module Product Overview The QPB9329 is a highly integrated front-end module targeted for TDD base stations. The switch LNA module integrates a two-stage LNA and a high power switch in a dual channel configuration. The second stage LNA has a bypass mode. Power down and bypass capability for the LNAs can be controlled with control pins on the module. 44 Pin 7mmx7mm leadless SMT Package The QPB9329 can be utilized across the 3.8 6.0 GHz range to provide 1.8dB noise figure for operation in the receive mode and 1.1dB insertion loss in the transmit mode at 4.5 GHz. The LNAs utilize Qorvos high performance E- Key Features pHEMT process while the SOI technology based switch 3.86.0 GHz Frequency Range supports input RF power signals of up to 8W average power assuming 8dB PAR. The product only needs a +5V supply Dual Channel to operate the high-power switch and the LNAs. Second LNA has bypass mode Max RF Input power: 8W Pavg (8 dB PAR), TX mode The QPB9329 is packaged in a RoHS-compliant, compact 1.8 dB NF at 4.5 GHz (Rx mode) 7mm x 7mm surface-mount leadless package. The switch 31.5 dB Gain (Rx mode, High Gain state) LNA module is targeted for wireless infrastructure 16.5 dB Gain (RX mode, Low Gain state) applications configured for TDD-based MIMO architectures. The module can be used for next generation +33 dBm OIP3 (Rx mode, High gain state) 5G or pre-5G solutions or small cell base-station 1.8V TTL logic compatibility applications. 35V operation for switch and LNAs Functional Block Diagram Applications Wireless Infrastructure 1 33 GND GND Small cell BTS 2 32 ANT M AMP2VDD M 3 31 GND RXOUT M Pre-5G / 5G Massive MIMO systems 4 30 VCT M GND TDD-based architectures 5 29 GND BP M 6 28 GND SW VDD 7 27 GND BP D 8 26 VCT D GND 9 25 GND AMP2VDD D 10 24 ANT D RXOUT D GND 11 23 GND Ordering Information Part No. Description QPB9329EVB-01 Evaluation Board QPB9329SR 100 pcs on a 7 reel Top View QPB9329TR13 2500 pcs on a 13 reel Data Sheet, September 20, 2018 Subject to change without notice 1 of 11 www.qorvo.com 12 44 GND GND 13 43 TERM M TERM D 14 42 GND GND 15 41 GND GND 16 40 GND GND 17 39 AMP1BIAS D AMP1BIAS M 18 38 GND GND 19 37 AMP1VDD D AMP1VDD M 20 36 GND GND 21 35 AMPSD D AMPSD M 22 34 GND GND QPB9329 Dual-Channel Switch LNA Module Absolute Maximum Ratings Recommended Operating Conditions Parameter Rating Parameter Min Typ Max Units Storage Temperature -65 to 150C LNA Voltage +3 +5 +5.25 V Supply Voltage (Pins 17, 19, 25, 32, 37, 39) +7 V Switch VDD +3 +5 +5.5 V Pin at ANT, Rx mode T 40 +105 C CASE 27 dBm (Pavg, 8 dB PAR, 100% DC, 105C) (1) Tj at max Tcase +136 C Pin at ANT, Tx mode (2) Tj at max Tcase +125 C (Pavg, 8 dB PAR, 88% DC, 8.8ms max 39 dBm pulse-width, 105C) Notes: Operation of this device outside the parameter ranges given 1.
