QPA1008

2.7 – 3.8 GHz Variable Gain Driver Amplifier

Product Description
Qorvo's QPA1008 is an S-band two stage variable gain
driver amplifier in a 5x5 mm QFN. The QPA1008 operates
from 2.7 to 3.8 GHz and provides 31dBm of P1dB output
power with 26 dB of large signal gain and greater than
30% PAE. The QPA1008 includes a 30 dB attenuator at
the input, and a simple resistively coupled (~-20 dB
coupling) power sampler detector at the output. The
amplifier has a fast bias control switch for quick turn on
and off operation.

Notes:
If operating near PSAT, 20 dB (>3W) attenuation pad is recommended at the output of the device to protect test equipment.
For this EVB, the Attenuation control is reversed compared to the design requirements and the final production product.
