Qorvo

Maximum Power Reduction Calculator

The maximum output power requirements for LTE user equipment is specified by the 3GPP TS 36.521 specifications and contains requirements for both the maximum output power as well as the output power tolerance. This calculator allows you to determine the maximum power reduction for two component carriers. 

Modelithics LibModelithics® Qorvo GaN Library 

Qorvo and Modelithics collaborate to provide designers with high-accuracy nonlinear simulation models for Qorvo GaN transistor devices. The Modelithics® Qorvo GaN Library has been developed using "best-in-class" measurement and modeling techniques. Modelithics is well-known for providing highly accurate measurement-based, advanced feature simulation models, offering powerful substrate and part-value scaling capability, instrumental in high frequency design. Modelithics' model libraries integrate seamlessly with the latest electronic design automation (EDA) simulation tools, and are thoroughly documented, with a model information data sheet for each model.

PAE/Pdiss/Tj Calculator

QorvoThis calculator helps you calculate your power added efficiency (PAE), power dissipation and maximum junction temperature.

PAE is a measure rating the efficiency of a PA which considers the effect of the gain of the amplifier. PAE will be like efficiency when the gain of the amplifier is high.

Power dissipation is the process in which an electric device produces heat as an unwanted byproduct of its primary action. If a circuit current flows through a given element, losing voltage in the process, then the Pdiss by that circuit element is the product of the current and voltage (P = I x V).

Junction temperature is the highest operating temperature of the actual semiconductor in an electronic device.
