General Description
Pin Configuration
The TQP3M9040 is a high linearity, ultra low noise figure
dual device amplifier in a 4x4 mm package. At 1950
MHz in a balanced configuration, this LNA provides
17.7dB gain, 21.8 dBm IIP3 and 0.62 dB noise figure.
The part does not require a negative supply for operation
and is bias adjustable for both drain current and voltage.
The device is housed in a green/RoHS-compliant
industry standard QFN package.
The TQP3M9040 consists of a single monolithic GaAs
E-pHEMT die and integrates bias circuitry as well as
shut-down capability allowing the LNA to be useful for
both FDD and TDD applications.
The TQP3M9040 is optimized for the 1500−2300 MHz
band, but can be used outside of the band. TriQuint
offers pin-compatible dual LNAs for the 500−1500 MHz
band (TQP3M9039) and 2.3−4.0 GHz (TQP3M9041).
The balanced amplifier is optimized for high performance
receivers in wireless infrastructure and can be used for
base-station transceivers or tower-mounted amplifiers.
