The VGA is able to achieve high performance 3 Amp1 Out / Vcc Amp1 with +42.0 dBm OIP3 and +27.1 dBm P1dB over a wide 5 VVA In gain variation range while only consuming 235 mA current. 8 Vctrl VVA 11 VVA Out The TQC9074 integrates a high linearity, low noise 13 Amp2 In amplifier for the first stage, followed by a broadband 15 Amp2 Out / Vcc Amp2 voltage variable attenuator, and then with a high 20 Vcc VVA performance W P1dB amplifier. The input and output Backside Paddle RF/DC Ground of the various individual stages are accessible with external pins to allow for optimization of performance at any sub-band across the VGAs 0.7 to 2.8 GHz operating frequency range. The TQC9074 is packaged in a RoHS-compliant, compact 5x5mm surface-mount leadless package. Superior thermal design allows the product to have a minimum MTTF rating of 1000 years Ordering Information at a mounting temperature of +85 C. Part No. Description The TQC9074 is targeted for use in wireless TQC9074 W Variable Gain Amplifier infrastructure where high linearity, medium power, and TQC9074-PCB2600 2600 MHz Evaluation Board high efficiency are required. Standard T/R size = 2500 pcs on a 13 reel.
