TQP3M9028
High Linearity LNA Gain Block
®
Product Description
The TQP3M9028 is a cascadable, high linearity gain block
amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package. At 1.9 GHz,
the amplifier typically provides 14.7 dB gain, +40 dBm
OIP3, and 1.8 dB Noise Figure while only drawing 85 mA
current. The device is housed in a leadfree/green/RoHScompliant industry-standard SOT-89 package.
The TQP3M9028 has the benefit of having excellent gain
flatness across a broad range of frequencies. The low noise
figure and high linearity performance allows the device to
be used in both receiver and transmitter chains for high
performance systems. The amplifier is internally matched
using a high performance E-pHEMT process and only
requires an external RF choke and blocking/bypass
capacitors for operation from a single +5V supply. The
internal active bias circuit also enables stable operation
over bias and temperature variations.

NOTES:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters[inches]. 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 0.25mm (0.01”).
4. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
