RFLA9003 Dual Low Noise Amplifier Module 1710MHz to 2180MHz SD2 23 VPAR2 24 VDD2 RFMD’s RFLA9003 is a dual Low Noise Amplifier module with external connections to both LNAs. These LNAs feature a shutdown mode to turn off the LNA and provide up to 15dBm drive level without gain expansion and self-biasing in shutdown mode. Noise figure of 1.2dB and input P1dB of -3.5dBm make this component ideal for receiver input lineups. The RFLA9003 is packaged in a small 4.0mm x 4.0mm leadless laminate MCM. This module is internally matched to 50Ω on all RF ports making it easy to use with no external matching components required. 22 21 20 Features ■ Frequency Range 1710MHz to 2180MHz ■ Internally Matched to 50Ω on all RF Ports ■ Shutdown Mode with +40dB Isolation ■ Gain = >15dB per LNA ■ Noise Figure of 1.2dB Typical ■ Single +4.0V Supply ■ Small 24-Pin, 4.0mm x 4.0mm, Multi-Chip Module (MCM) 19 RF_OUT2 1 18 RF_IN2 LNA2 2 17 3 16 4 15 LNA1 5 Applications ■ Cellular Repeaters ■ General Purpose LNA 14 8 9 10 11 VDD1 7 VPAR1 13 RF_OUT1 SD1 6 RF_IN1 Package: MCM, 24-pin, 4.0mm x 4.0mm 12 Functional Block Diagram Ordering Information RFLA9003SQ Sample bag with 25 pieces RFLA9003SR 7" Reel with 100 pieces RFLA9003TR13 13" Reel with 2500 pieces RFLA9003PCK-410 1710MHz to 2180MHz PCBA with 5-piece sample bag RF Micro Devices Inc. 7628 Thorndike Road, Greensboro, NC 27409-9421 For sales or technical support, contact RFMD at +1.336.678.5570 or [email protected]. ® DS131114 ® RF MICRO DEVICES and RFMD are trademarks of RFMD, LLC.
