TQP369180 DC-6 GHz Gain Block Applications Wireless Infrastructure CATV / SATV / MoCA Point to Point Defense & Aerospace Test & Measurement Equipment General Purpose Wireless Product Features SOT-89 Package Functional Block Diagram GND DC-6000 MHz Flat, broadband frequency response 15 dB Gain at 1.9 GHz 3.6 dB Noise Figure at 1.9 GHz +29.5 dBm Output IP3 at 1.9 GHz +14.4 dBm P1dB at 1.9 GHz 50 Ohm Cascadable Gain Block Single Supply, 45 mA Current SOT-89 Package 4 1 2 3 RF IN GND RF OUT General Description Pin Configuration The TQP369180 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 15.0 dB gain, +29.5 dBm OIP3, and 3.6 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. Pin # Symbol 1 3 2, 4 RF IN RF OUT GND The TQP369180 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 TQP369180 will work for other applications within the DC to 6 GHz frequency range.
