Pin Configuration
The TQP7M9106 is a high linearity, high gain 2W
driver amplifier in industry standard, RoHS compliant,
QFN surface mount package. This InGaP/GaAs HBT
delivers high performance across 0.05 to 1.5 GHz
range of frequencies while achieving 20.8 dB gain, +50
dBm OIP3 and +33 dBm P1dB at 940MHz while only
consuming 455 mA quiescent current. All devices are
100% RF and DC tested.

The TQP7M9106 incorporates patented on-chip circuit
techniques that differentiate it from other products in
the market. The amplifier integrates an on-chip DC
over-voltage and RF over-drive protection.
This
protects the amplifier from electrical DC voltage surges
and high input RF input power levels that may occur in
a system.
The TQP7M9106 is targeted for use as a driver
amplifier in wireless infrastructure where high linearity,
medium power, and high efficiency are required. The
device is an excellent candidate for transceiver line
cards and high power amplifiers in current and next
generation multi-carrier 3G / 4G base stations.

Note: The gain for the unmatched device in 50 ohm system is shown as the trace in black color, [gain (S(21)]. For a tuned circuit for a
particular frequency, it is expected that actual gain will be higher, up to the maximum stable gain. The maximum stable gain is shown as the
blue trace [Gmax]. The impedance plots are shown from 0.05 – 4 GHz.

Components shown on the silkscreen but not on the schematic are not used.
0 Ω resistor can be replaced with copper trace in the target application layout.
To power down the device, voltage can be applied to Vref to control Iref by placing resistor R8 and removing R7.
The recommended component values are dependent upon the frequency of operation.
All components are of 0603 size unless stated on the schematic.
R1 is critical for device linearity performance.
Critical component placement locations:
Distance between center of C8 and TQP7M9106 (U1) device package is 243 mil (11.7º at 940MHz)
Distance between center of L5 and TQP7M9106 (U1) device package is 452 mil (21.8º at 940MHz)
Distance between center of C9 and TQP7M9106 (U1) device package is 275 mil (13.3º at 940MHz)
Distance between center of C2 and TQP7M9106 (U1) device package is 355 mil (17.2º at 940MHz)

Pin Configuration and Description
Description
Voltage supply for active bias for the amp. Connect to same supply voltage
as Vcc.
RF Input. Requires external match for optimal performance. External DC
Block required.
RF Output. Requires external match for optimal performance. External
DC Block and supply voltage is required.
Reference current into internal active bias current mirror. Current into Iref
sets device quiescent current. Also, can be used as on/off control.
RF/DC Ground Connection
RF/DC ground. Use recommended via pattern to minimize inductance and
thermal resistance. See PCB Mounting Pattern for suggested footprint.

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 0.25mm (0.10”).
4. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
5. Place mounting screws near the part to fasten a back side heat sink.
6. Do not apply solder mask to the back side of the PC board in the heat sink contact region.
7. Ensure that the backside via region makes good physical contact with the heat sink.
