General Description
The XP1044-QL is a highly linear 2-stage power amplifier
capable of 17 dB of gain, 3W of power at 1 dB compression
and is housed in an RoHS compliant 7X7mm package. The
XP1044-QL provides less than 2.5% EVM at 26 dBm output
power with 802.16 OFDM signal and peak to average ratio
9.17 dB. The input and output of the device are internally
pre-matched facilitating a simplified input and output
match. This product operates off an 8V voltage supply and
requires negative voltage which is used for current control.
XP1044-QL is specifically designed for WiMAX applications
between 4.9 GHz and 5.9 GHz.
Unless otherwise specified, the following specifications are guaranteed at room temperature in a Mimix test fixture.

Application Circuit Schematic
App Note [1] Biasing - The XP1044-QL requires power supply sequencing. Negative voltage supply (Vgg) needs to be turned on first and
then positive voltage can be applied to the drain (Vdd). When turning off the device, the positive supply (Vdd) should be turned off first and
then negative voltage (Vgg) can be removed.
The gate voltage is adjusted in order to set the drain current to the desired level. The gate voltage required to achieve a certain current can
vary over temperature and from one device to another due to pinch-off voltage variation. Constant drain current can be achieved by
Implementing an active bias circuit which allows for temperature compensation and eliminates the effect of pinch off voltage variation.
The same current mirror circuit is implemented for each stage adding a total of 12 components at a cost of approximately $0.29

devices or systems without the express written approval of the President and General Counsel of Mimix Broadband. As
used herein: (1) Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into
the body, or (b) support or sustain life, and whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance with instructions
for use provided in the labeling, can be reasonably expected to result in a significant injury to the user. (2) A critical
component is any component of a life support device or system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected
to cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its safety or effectiveness.
Package Attachment - This packaged product from Mimix Broadband is provided as a rugged surface mount package
compatible with high volume solder installation. Care should be taken not to apply heavy pressure to the top or base
material to avoid package damage. Vacuum tools or other suitable pick and place equipment may be used to pick and
place this part. Care should be taken to ensure that there are no voids or gaps in the solder connection so that good RF,
DC and ground connections are maintained. Voids or gaps can eventually lead not only to RF performance degradation,
