QPA4263ATR7

Video Amps And Modules Overview

The QPA4263ATR7 is a DC to 3500 MHz cascaded SiGe HBT MMIC amplifier in an SOT-363 package. It operates from a single positive voltage supply with a typical current of 45 mA. Key electrical specifications at 1950 MHz include a small signal gain of 12.3 dB, an output IP3 of +29.2 dBm, and a noise figure of 3.7 dB. The device provides an output power at 1dB compression of +14.1 dBm. It features robust ESD protection rated at 1000V Class 1C HBM.

Video Amps And Modules Feature Summary

• Utilizes a Darlington configuration for high FT and excellent thermal performance.
• Heterojunction design increases breakdown voltage while minimizing leakage current between junctions.
• Cancellation of emitter junction non-linearities results in higher suppression of intermodulation products.
• Internally matched to 50 ohms requiring only two DC-blocking capacitors and a bias resistor.

Video Amps And Modules Applications

• Cellular, PCS, GSM, UMTS systems
• PA Driver Amplifier
• IF/RF Buffer Amplifier
• Wireless Data and Satellite communications

Video Amps And Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details. The ATR7 designation indicates a reel quantity of 3000 pieces on a 7-inch reel. Ensure compatibility with lead-free soldering processes as the component is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free. Confirm that the application circuit supports the required bias conditions and operating temperature range.

Video Amps And Modules Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a wide bandwidth from DC to 3500 MHz with low noise characteristics. The internal matching simplifies circuit design by reducing external component count. Consider the thermal resistance and operating temperature limits when designing heat dissipation strategies. Verify that the supply voltage and bias resistor values align with the desired operating current.
