Base station RFICs protect mobile networks

The TQP7M9101 and TQP7M9102 base station RFICs integrate protection features that include means to guard against ESD and dc over-voltage electrical spikes. The also integrates RF over-drive protection that reduces the chance of damage from high signal levels often seen in systems employing digital pre-distortion linearization techniques commonly utilized to meet 3G/4G BTS system requirements.

At 2.1 GHz, the 0.25-W TQP7M9101 provides 17.5 dB gain, 40-dBm OIP3 and 24.8-dB P1dB while consuming only 88 mA current from a 5-V supply. The 0.5-W TQP7M9102 at 2.1 GHz offers 17.8-dB gain, 43.5-dBm OIP3, 27.5-dBm P1dB while consuming 137 mA current from a 5-V supply. Both offer Class 2 (2000V) HBM ESD protection.(Contact company for pricing — available now)
