16 Pad 5 x 5 mm leadless SMT Package
Product Features
• 2300 – 2700 MHz
• Balanced Amplifier with integrated 3 dB hybrids
• Internally Matched 50 Ω Input / Output
• Shutdown Mode with 1.8V logic control
• 19.6 dB Gain
• +38.7 dBm OIP3
• +24.7 dBm P1dB
• Good gain flatness across Bands 7, 30, 38, 40, 41
General Description
The QPA9807 is a balanced amplifier module with
embedded hybrid couplers to convert to single ended input
and output ports. The module has an enable pin to allow for
shutting down of the amplifier. The module requires
minimal external components which are VCC choke
inductors, decoupling caps and resistors for bias control.
The QPA9807 provides +24.7 dBm P1dB with 19.6 dB gain
and +38.7 dBm OIP3 across a wide frequency range of
2300-2700 MHz to cover the 3GPP Bands 7, 30, 38, 40,
and 41. The linear driver amplifier is targeted for use in
wireless infrastructure where high linearity, medium power
and high integration is required. The balanced amplifier
configuration provides very good input and output VSWR
and is especially ideal as the output stage in a macrocell
transceiver board that connects to the high power amplifier
(HPA) board through a long cable or microstrip trace. The
QPA9807 is packaged in a small 5 x 5 mm leadless
package that is internally matched to 50 Ω on all RF ports.
Applications
• Wireless Infrastructure
• Macro BTS Transceivers
• Booster Amps, Repeaters

Package Marking and Dimensions
Marking: Part Number – QPA9807
Notes:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters. Angles are in degrees.
2. The terminal #1 identifier and terminal numbering conform to JESD 95-1 SPP-012.
3. Contact plating: Au over Ni
PCB Mounting Pattern
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 0.25 mm (0.10”).
4. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
