QPA9862
QorvoQPA9862 is a Qorvo high-linearity pre-driver amplifier in a 3.0 x 3.0 mm 16-pin SMT laminate package — for 3.3 GHz to 4.2 GHz 5G massive-MIMO and small-cell transmit chains, where it provides 36.5 dB gain at 3.6 GHz with 28.8 dBm OP1dB output from a +5 V supply at 110 mA quiescent current. Qorvo lists the part in Production with a formal datasheet; the evaluation-board documentation uses the base QPA9862 code for the device itself, while SB and EVB suffixes denote sample and board forms rather than the production device. Selection advice: as a pre-driver it is sized to feed a final-stage GaN or LDMOS power amplifier, not to serve as the power stage itself — cascade the gain and P1dB budget so the QPA9862 stays in its linear region at the system's peak-to-average ratio. The laminate package is land-pattern specific; copy the Qorvo footprint and thermal-via arrangement exactly rather than adapting a generic QFN pattern. Parameters verified against Qorvo documentation.

QPA9862 FAQ
What should I check before substituting QPA9862 with another RF pre-driver amplifier?
Match the full ordering code, not the series name: package (SMT Laminate 3x3), temperature grade and packing all ride on the suffixes. A same-series code in a different package is a different orderable device, so confirm the substitute against the Qorvo datasheet before changing the BOM.
