TQM8M9079 500-2700 MHz Variable Gain Amplifier Product Overview The TQM8M9079 is an analog controlled variable gain amplifier (VGA) which operates from 500 to 2700 MHz. The VGA is able to provide broadband performance with +29 dBm OIP3 and +16 dBm P1dB over a wide frequency range while only consuming 95 mA current. The TQM8M9079 integrates two broadband gain blocks with a voltage variable attenuator. The three stages are individually accessible via package I/O contacts. This 20 Pin 5x5 mm leadless SMT Package permits full flexibility to insert other components or filters between the stages. The TQM8M9079 is packaged in a RoHS-compliant, Key Features compact 5x5 mm surface-mount leadless package. Superior thermal design allows the product to have a Integrates Amp + VVA + Amp functionality minimum MTTF rating of 1000 years at a mounting 5002700 MHz Bandwidth temperature of +85 C. 38 dB Gain (max gain setting) 4.0 dB Noise Figure The TQM8M9079 is targeted for use in wireless infra- +16 dBm P1dB structure, IF gain control in point-to-point applications, and +29 dBm OIP3 for general purpose wireless. +5V Supply Voltage Low Current Functional Block Diagram Applications Wireless Infrastructure V NC NC NC NC CC LTE / WCDMA / CDMA / EDGE 20 19 18 17 16 PtP IF Gain Control Amp1 In 1 15 Amp2 Out / V DEV2 General Purpose Wireless Amp1 NC 2 14 NC Amp 2 Amp1 Out / V 3 13 Amp2 In DEV1 VVA NC 4 12 NC VVA In 5 11 VVA Out 6 7 8 9 10 NC NC V NC NC CTRL Ordering Information Top View Part No. Description TQM8M9079TR13 2500 pieces on a 13 reel TQM8M9079-PCB 5002700 MHz Evaluation Board Datasheet, February 6, 2018 Subject to change without notice 1 of 8 www.qorvo.com TQM8M9079 500-2700 MHz Variable Gain Amplifier Absolute Maximum Ratings Recommended Operating Conditions Parameter Rating Parameter Min Typ Max Units Storage Temperature -65 to 150C Control Voltage (VCTRL) 0.5 5 V T -40 +85 C RF Input Power, CW, 50, T=25 C +24 dBm CASE 6 Amplifier Voltage (V ) +4.5 V Tj for >10 hours MTTF +170 C DEV1,2 Electrical specifications are measured at specified test conditions.

The Gain variation range is measured as the difference in gain with VCTRL = 5 V and VCTRL = 0 V. 2. Amp1 current (pin 3) and Amp2 current (pin 15) are typically 47.5 mA in each 3. VVA typical current is < 1 mA for min attenuation and 3.6 mA for max attenuation Datasheet, February 6, 2018 Subject to change without notice 2 of 8 www.qorvo.com
