QPA2363C
®
50 MHz – 4000 MHz Active Bias Cascadable SiGe HBT
Amplifier
General Description
Qorvo’s QPA2363C is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC
amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with a patented
active bias network. The active bias network provides
stable current over temperature and process
Beta variations. Designed to run directly from a 3V supply,
the QPA2363C does not require a dropping resistor as
compared to typical Darlington amplifiers. The QPA2363C
is designed for high linearity 3V gain block applications that
require small size and minimal external components. It is
internally matched to 50 Ω.

Description
Connection to ground. Use via holes in PCB for best performance to reduce lead inductance as close to
ground leads as possible
RF Input Pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of
operation.
RF Output and Bias Pin. DC voltage is present on this pin, therefore a DC blocking capacitor is
necessary for proper operation.
