TQP3M9018 High Linearity LNA Gain Block Product Overview The TQP3M9018 is a cascade-able, high linearity gain block amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package. At 1.9 GHz, this amplifier typically provides 20.5 dB gain, +37 dBm output IP3 and 1.3 dB noise figure while only drawing 85 mA current. The device is housed in a lead-free/green/RoHS- compliant industry-standard 16-pin 3x3mm QFN package. 16 Pin 3X3 mm QFN Package The TQP3M9018 has the benefit of having high gain across a broad range of frequencies while also providing very low noise. This allows the device to be used in both receiver and Key Features transmitter chains for high performance systems. The 20-4000 MHz amplifier is internally matched using a high-performance 20.5 dB Gain at 1900 MHz E-pHEMT process and requires only an external RF choke and blocking/bypass capacitors for operation from a single 1.3 dB Noise Figure at 1900 MHz +5 V supply. The internal active bias circuit also provides +37 dBm Output IP3 stable operation over bias and temperature variations. 50 Ohm cascade-able Gain Block Unconditionally Stable The TQP3M9018 covers the 0.02-4 GHz frequency band High Input Power Capability and is targeted for wireless infrastructure or other +5 V Single Supply, 85mA Current applications requiring high linearity and/or low noise figure. 3x3 mm QFN Package Functional Block Diagram Applications Repeaters Pin 1 Reference Mark Mobile Infrastructure LTE / WCDMA / CDMA / EDGE 16 15 14 13 General Purpose Wireless 1 12 N/C N/C 2 11 RF In RF Out / V DD 3 10 N/C N/C Ordering Information 4 9 N/C N/C 5 6 7 8 Part No. Description TQP3M9018 2500 pieces on a 7 reel TQP3M9018-PCB IF 50-500 MHz Evaluation Board Backside Pad - RF/DC GND TQP3M9018-PCB RF 0.5-4 GHz Evaluation Board Top View Data Sheet, Rev.
