QPA2597

Qorvo's QPA2597 is a packaged driver amplifier using proven GaN on SiC technology. The QPA2597 operates from 2.0 to 6.0GHz and provides 32 dBm of output with 24 dB of small signal gain and 37 % power-added efficiency.

Using GaN MMIC technology and plastic packaging, the QPA2597 provides a low-cost driver solution that provides the added benefit of operating on the same voltage rail as the corresponding GaN HPA. It can also serve as the output power amplifier in lower power architectures.

The QPA2597 is offered in a 4x4 mm plastic overmold QFN. It is internally matched to 50 ohms and includes integrated DC blocking caps on both RF ports allowing for simple system integration.
