General Description
Pin Configuration
The TQP369184 is a general-purpose buffer amplifier
that offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surfacemount package. At 1900 MHz, the amplifier typically
provides 20.3 dB gain, +28.5 dBm OIP3, and 3.9 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.

The TQP369184 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 TQP369184 will work for other applications
within the DC to 6 GHz frequency range.

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.
4. Do not remove or minimize via hole structure in the PCB. Thermal and RF grounding is critical.
5. 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”).
6. The RF I/O trace transition shown is to a 30 mil wide line. Modify transition as required to interface with other line widths.
