General Description
Pin Configuration
The TQL9092 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 dB (peak-to-peak)
over a wide bandwidth from 1.5 to 3.6GHz. At 2.6 GHz,
the amplifier typically provides 22.6 dB gain, +39.5 dBm
OIP3 at a 65 mA bias setting, and 0.6 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/RoHS-compliant industry-standard 2x2 mm
package.

The TQL9092 is internally matched using a high
performance 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.
Ordering Information
The TQL9092 is optimized for linear performance across
the 1.5 to 4.2 GHz frequency band but can operate down
to 600 MHz.

Notes:
1. See Evaluation Board PCB Information section for material and stack-up.
2. R3 (0 Ω jumper) is not shown on the schematic and may be replaced with copper trace in the target application layout.
3. All components are of 0402 size unless stated on the schematic.
4. For TDD Applications: R1 = 20K & R2 = 0Ω
5. For FDD Applications: R1 = 20K ‘OR’ Pin 6 tied to ground. R2 = DNP/Omitted
6. A through line is included on the evaluation board to de-embed the board losses.
7. R4 sets the current draw. Can be changed for the desired bias point. See table below.

Vbias
Sets the Icq bias point for the device.

RF In
RF Input pin. A DC Block is required.
A high voltage(>1.17V) turns off the device. If the pin is pulled to ground or driven
Shut Down
with a voltage less than 0.63V, then the device will operate under LNA ON state.
RF Output pin. DC bias will also need to be injected through a RF bias
RF Out / DCBias
choke/inductor for operation.
NC
No electrical connection. Provide grounded land pads for PCB mounting integrity.
RF/DC ground. Use recommended via pattern to minimize inductance and
RF/DC GND
thermal resistance; see PCB Mounting Pattern for suggested footprint.

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 quad flat no lead package (QFN).
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. Vias 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 (0.10”).
4. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
