QPC9314 High Power Switch LNA Module Product Overview The Qorvo QPC9314 is a highly integrated front-end module targeted for TDD macro or picocell base stations. The LNA switch module integrates RF functional blocks such as a pin-diode based high power switch capable of handling up to 52 W with an LTE signal (8 dB PAR) along with two LNA stages, and a 1-bit DSA to provide a high and low gain mode. Further integration is also implemented 16 Pin 8mmx8mm leadless SMT Package where the pin diode driver and dc-dc converter circuits are implemented inside the module to enable only the need for an external 5 V power supply. The control voltage for the switch and gain control. mode is with 3.3 V logic. Key Features The QPC9314 can be utilized across the 2.3-2.7 GHz range 2.3-2.7 GHz frequency range to provide 1.2 dB noise figure for operation in the receive Integrates a high power switch, two LNA stages, a 1-bit mode and 0.5 dB insertion loss in the transmit mode. The DSA, pin diode driver circuits, and dc converter LNAs utilize Qorvos high performance E-pHEMT process while the switch allows for power levels up to 330 W peak Ideal for TDD systems with an isolator power to be routed to an external load termination. Only requires a 5 V supply with 3.3 V logic Ctrl. Max RF Input power: 52 W Pavg (8 dB PAR) The QPC9314 is packaged in a RoHS-compliant, compact 33 or 24 dB gain (Rx high and Rx low gain mode) 8x8 mm surface-mount leadless package. The switch LNA 1.2 dB noise figure module is targeted for wireless infrastructure applications configured for TDD-based architectures. +33 dBm OIP3 (Rx mode) 0.65 dB Insertion Loss (Tx mode) Compact package size, 8x8 mm Functional Block Diagram Applications Wireless Infrastructure Macro or picocell base stations TDD-based architectures Ordering Information Part No. Description QPC9314TR13 2500 pcs on a 13 reel QPC9314SR 100 pcs on a 7 reel Top View QPC9314EVB Evaluation board Datasheet, May 2, 2018 Subject to change without notice 1 of 11 www.qorvo.com QPC9314 High Power Switch LNA Module Absolute Maximum Ratings Recommended Operating Conditions Parameter Rating Parameter Min Typ Max Units Storage Temperature -50 to 150C V +4.75 +5 +5.25 V CC Max Operating Temperature +115C T/R Mode Low Voltage 0 0.8 V V +6 V CC T/R Mode High Voltage 2.0 3.6 V (1) RF at ANT (Tx Mode) +47.2 dBm TCASE 40 +105 C (2) 6 (4) RF at ANT (Tx Mode) +44.2 dBm Tj for >10 hours MTTF +190 C (3) RF at ANT (Tx Mode) +46.0 dBm Notes: (2) 4.
