Qorvo's QPA9119 is a high linearity driver amplifier in a low-cost, RoHS compliant, surface mount package. This InGaP/GaAs HBT delivers high performance across a broad range of frequencies with +44 dBm OIP3 and +27.2 dBm P1dB while only consuming 130 mA quiescent current. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.

The QPA9119 incorporates on-chip features 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. On-chip ESD protection allows the amplifier to have a very robust Class 1C HBM ESD rating.

The QPA9119 is targeted for use as a driver amplifier in wireless infrastructure where high linearity, medium power, and high efficiency are required. The device an excellent candidate for transceiver line cards in current and next generation multi-carrier 3G / 4G base stations.
