TQP9224 High Linearity 0.25 W Small Cell PA General Description The TQP9224 is a high-linearity three-stage power amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package with on-chip bias control and temperature control circuits, suitable for small cell or enterprise Femto cell base station applications. The TQP9224 provides 36.7 dB high gain and 50 dBc ACLR at +24dBm linear power using a 20 MHz LTE signal 14 Pin 7x7mm Leadless SMT Package over the 2.32.4GHz frequency range covering 3GPP Bands 30, 40. Product Features The TQP9224 integrates three high performance amplifier 2.32.4GHz Frequency Range stages to allow for a compact system design and requires Fully integrated, 3-Stage Power Amplifier very few external components for operation. The amplifier Internally Matched 50 Input/Output is bias adjustable allowing the amplifiers power 50dBc ACLR at Pavg = +24dBm consumption to be optimized for specific performance 36.7dB Gain requirements. The TQP9224 is available in a lead- 14% PAE at +24dBm free/RoHS-compliant 7x7mm surface mount package. 204mA Quiescent Current On-chip Control Bias and Temp.
