Specifications
Product Description
The FP31QF is a high performance 2-Watt HFET
(Heterostructure FET) in a low-cost lead-free 28-pin 6x6
mm QFN (Quad Flatpack, No-Lead) surface-mount
package. This device works optimally at a drain bias of
+9 V and 450 mA to achieve +46 dBm output IP3
performance and an output power of +34 dBm at 1-dB
compression.
The device conforms to WJ Communications’ long
history of producing high reliability and quality
components. The FP31QF has an associated MTTF of a
minimum of 100 years at a mounting temperature of
85
°
C. All devices are 100% RF & DC tested.
The product is targeted for use as driver amplifiers for
wireless infrastructure where high performance and high
efficiency are required.

3. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +18 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz. The
suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.

4. Typical parameters represent performance in an application circuit.
5. Empirical measurements showed optimal power performance at a drain voltage = 9 volts at 450 mA.
Because the FP31QF is a discrete device, users can choose their own bias configuration. Performance
may vary from the data shown depending on the biasing conditions. To achieve a minimum 1 million
hours MTTF rating, the biasing condition should maintain a junction temperature below 160
°
C over all
operating temperatures. This can be approximated by (drain voltage) x (drain current) x 17.5
°

(maximum operating temperature).
