QPL9057
Ultra-Low Noise Flat Gain Amplifier
®
General Description
The QPL9057 is a flat-gain, high-linearity, ultra-low noise
amplifier in a small 2 x 2 mm surface-mount package. The
LNA provides a gain flatness of 2.4 dB (peak-to-peak) over
a wide bandwidth from 1.5 to 3.8GHz. At 3.5 GHz, the
amplifier typically provides 22.8 dB gain, +32 dBm OIP3 at
a 50 mA bias setting, and 0.54 dB noise figure. The LNA
can be biased from a single positive supply ranging from
3.3 to 5 volts. The device is housed in a green/RoHScompliant industry-standard 2x2 mm package.
The QPL9057 is internally matched using a highperformance E-pHEMT process and only requires five
external components for operation from a single positive
supply: an external RF choke and blocking/bypass
capacitors and a bias resistor going to pin 1. This LNA
integrates a shut-down biasing capability to allow for
operation in TDD applications.
The QPL9057 is optimized for linear performance across
the 1.5 to 4.2 GHz frequency band but can operate down to
600 MHz.

Mechanical Information
Package Marking and Dimensions
Marking: Part number – 9057
Trace code – XXXX
9057
XXXX
Notes:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters. Angles are in degrees.
2. Except where noted, this part outline conforms to JEDEC standard MO-220, Issue E (Variation VGGC) for thermally enhanced
plastic very thin fine pitch dual flat no lead package (DFN).
3. Dimension and tolerance formats conform to ASME Y14.4M-1994.
4. The terminal #1 identifier and terminal numbering conform to JESD 95-1 SPP-012.
PCB Mounting Pattern
Notes:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters. Angles are in degrees.
2. Use 1 oz. copper minimum for top and bottom layer metal.
3. Via holes 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 0.25 mm (0.01”).
4. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
