General Description
The XP1042-QT is a packaged driver amplifier that
operates over the 12.0-16.0 GHz frequency band. The
device provides 21 dB gain and 38 dBm Output Third
Order Intercept Point (OIP3) across the band and is
offered in an industry standard, fully molded 3x3mm
QFN package. The device includes on-chip ESD
protection structures and DC by-pass capacitors to
ease the implementation and volume assembly of the
packaged part. The device is manufactured in 0.5um
GaAs PHEMT device technology with BCB wafer
coating to enhance ruggedness and repeatability of
performance. The XP1042-QT is well suited for
Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT
applications.

(1) Operation of this device above any one of these parameters
may cause permanent damage.
(2) Channel temperature directly affects a device’s MTTF.
Channel temperature should be kept as low as possible to
maximize lifetime
