TGC2510-SM Ku - Band Upconverter (R) Product Description The QORVO TGC2510-SM is a Ku-Band image reject upconverter with integrated LO buffer amplifier and output variable gain amplifier. The TGC2510-SM operates from an RF of 10 to 16 GHz and LO from 6.5 to 19 GHz with IF inputs from DC to 3.5GHz and is designed using QORVO's 3MI DR 0.15 um pHEMT production process. The TGC2510-SM typically provides 33 dBm of output TOI at -10 dBm input power per tone and has a conversion gain of 17 dB. The TGC2510-SM is available in a low-cost, surface mount 28 lead 5x5mm QFN package and is ideally suited for Pointto-Point Radio, and Ku-Band VSAT Ground Terminal. 28-pin 5x5 mm QFN package Product Features * * * * * * * * Function Block Diagram RF Frequency Range: 10 - 16 GHz IF Frequency: DC - 3.5 GHz LO Frequency: 6.5 - 19 GHz LO Input Power: 0 to 6 dBm Conversion Gain: 17 dB OTOI: 33 dBm at max gain Attenuation Range: 15 dB typical Package Dimensions: 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.3 mm Ordering Information Part No. Description TGC2510-SM Ku-Band Upconverter TGC2510-SM EVB LSB, Low IF Band, 1.3 to 2.45 GHz TGC2510-SM EVB LSB, High IF Band, 2.5 to 4.0 GH TGC2510-SM EVB USB, Low IF Band, 1.3 to 2.45 GHz TGC2510-SM EVB USB, High IF Band, 2.5 to 4.0 GHz TGC2510-SMEVBLL TGC2510-SMEVBLH TGC2510-SMEVBUL TGC2510-SMEVBUH Data Sheet Rev I.

August 6, 2018 | Subject to change without notice 19 of 23 www.qorvo.com TGC2510-SM Ku - Band Upconverter (R) Package Marking and Dimensions The TGC2510-SM will be marked with the "2510" designator. The "YY" represents the last two digits of the year the part was manufactured, the "WW" is the work week, and the "XXXX" is batch ID. This package is lead-free/RoHS-compliant with a copper alloy base (CDA194), and the plating material on the leads is NiPdAu. It is compatible with a lead-free (maximum 260 C reflow temperature) soldering process. PCB Mounting Pattern Notes: 1. The pad pattern shown has been developed and tested for optimized assembly at TriQuint Semiconductor. The PCB land pattern has been developed to accommodate lead and package tolerances. Since surface mount processes vary from company to company, careful process development is recommended. 2. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a .35mm diameter drill and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm. Data Sheet Rev I.
