General Description
Pin Configuration
The TQP3M9041 is a high linearity, ultra low noise figure
dual device amplifier in a 4x4 mm package. At 2600
MHz in a balanced configuration, this LNA provides
18.4dB gain, 20.2 dBm IIP3 and 0.8 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 TQP3M9041 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 TQP3M9041 is optimized for the 2500−2700 MHz
band, but can be used outside of the band. TriQuint
offers pin-compatible dual LNAs for 500−1500 MHz
(TQP3M9039) and 1500−2300 MHz (TQP3M9040). The
balanced amplifier is optimized for high performance
receivers in wireless infrastructure and can be used for
base-station transceivers or tower-mounted amplifiers.

Notes:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters. Angles are in degrees.
2. Use 1 oz. copper minimum for top and bottom layer metal.
3. We recommend a 0.35mm (#80/.0135") diameter bit for drilling via holes and a final plated thru diameter of 0.25 mm (0.10”).
4. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
