At 1.9 GHz, the amplifier typically provides 15.3 dB gain, +29 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-363 package. Pin # Symbol 3 6 1, 2, 4, 5 RF IN RF OUT GND The TQP369181 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 TQP369181 will work for other applications within the DC to 6 GHz frequency range.

Top 1 Bottom PCB Mounting Pattern . Notes: 1. All dimensions are in millimeters (inches). Angles are in degrees 2. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a .35mm (#80 / .0135”) diameter drill and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010”). 3. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance. 4. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and construction.
