Pin Configuration
The TQP369182 is a general-purpose buffer amplifier
that offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surfacemount package. At 1.9 GHz, the amplifier typically
provides 20.7 dB gain, +28 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-89 package.

The TQP369182 consists of a Darlington-pair amplifier
using TriQuint’s 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 TQP369182 will work for other applications
within the DC to 6 GHz frequency range.

Notes:
1. OIP3 is measured with two tones at an output power of 0 dBm / tone separated by 1 MHz. The suppression on the largest IM3 product
is used to calculate the OIP3 using 2:1 rule. 2:1 rule gives relative value with respect to fundamental tone.

NOTES:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters[inches]. Angles are in degrees.
2. Use 1 oz. copper minimum for top and bottom layer metal.
3. Vias are required under the backside paddle of this device for proper RF/DC grounding and thermal dissipation. We recommend a
0.35mm (#80/.0135") diameter bit for drilling via holes and a final plated thru diameter of 0.25mm (0.10”).
4. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
