General Description
The TQP369184 is a general-purpose buffer amplifier
that offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surface-
mount package. At 1900 MHz, the amplifier typically
provides 20.3 dB gain, +28.5 dBm OIP3, and 3.9 dB
Noise Figure while drawing 45 mA current. The device
combines dependable performance with consistent
quality to maintain MTTF values exceeding 100 years at
mounting temperatures of +85 °C. The device is housed
in a lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant industry-standard
SOT-363 package.
The TQP369184 consists of a Darlington-pair amplifier
using the high reliability InGaP/GaAs HBT process
technology.
Only DC-blocking capacitors, a bias
resistor, and an inductive RF choke are required for
operation.
This broadband MMIC amplifier can be directly applied
to various current and next generation wireless
technologies such as CDMA, W-CDMA, and LTE. In
addition, the TQP369184 will work for other applications
within the DC to 6 GHz frequency range.
