QPA4363A

QPA4363A ® DC – 4000 MHz Cascadable SiGe HBT Amplifier Product Overview The QPA4363A is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC amplifier. A Darlington configuration provides high FT and excellent thermal performance. The heterojunction increases breakdown voltage and minimizes leakage current between junctions. Cancellation of emitter junction non-linearities results in higher suppression of intermodulation products. The QPA4363A may be operated from a variety of supply voltages by using a voltage dropping resistor. Two DCblocking capacitors, bypass capacitors and an optional RF choke complete the circuit required for operation of this internally matched 50 ohm device. The QPA4363A is assembled in an industry standard SOT-363 package that is lead-free and RoHS-compliant. 6 Lead SOT-363 Package Key Features  DC to 4000 MHz Operation  Single Positive Voltage Supply  Gain: 14.8 dB at 1950 MHz  Output IP3: +29.2 dBm typical at 1950 MHz  Noise Figure: 3.0 dB Typical at 1950 MHz  Robust 1000 V Class 1C HBM ESD Rating  Lead-free/RoHS-compliant SOT-363 Package Functional Block Diagram Applications  Cellular, PCS, GSM, UMTS  PA Driver Amplifier  IF/RF Buffer Amplifier  Wireless Data, Satellite Top View Ordering Information Part No. Description QPA4363ASQ 25 Piece Sample Bag QPA4363ASR 100 Pieces on 7” Reel QPA4363ATR7 3000 pieces on a 7” reel QPA4363APCK401 850 MHz, EVB with 5 Piece Sample Bag Data Sheet Sept. 26, 2016 | Subject to change without notice 1 of 7 www.qorvo.com QPA4363A DC – 4000 MHz Cascadable SiGe HBT Amplifier ® Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Storage Temp Recommended Operating Conditions Rating −55 to +150 °C Device Voltage (VD) +5 V Device Current (ID) 90 mA RF Input Power (ZL = 50 Ω) Parameter Min Operating Temperature −40 Junction Temperature (TJ) Typ Max Units +105 °C +125 °C Electrical specifications are measured at specified test conditions.
