TGP2109 Data Sheet
Product Description
The Qorvo TGP2109 is a 6-bit digital phase shifter
fabricated on Qorvo’s high performance 0.15μm GaAs
pHEMT process. It operates over 8 to 12 GHz and provides
360° of phase coverage with a LSB of 5.625°. It also
achieves a low RMS phase error of 4° with 6 dB of insertion
loss.

Assembly Notes
1. De-Quing network is not required; VREF can be applied to either side of the MMIC (pad # 3 or #9)
2. The spacing between MMIC and TFN at RF In and RF Out is <5 mils typical.
3. RF connections: Bond three 1-mil diameter, <20 mils length gold bond wires at RF In and RF Out for
optimum RF performance.
