MC13852
General Purpose Low Noise
Amplifier with Bypass Switch
1
Introduction
The MC13852 is a cost-effective high gain LNA with
low noise figure. This is the lower application frequency
version of the MC13851.
An integrated bypass switch is included to preserve high
input intercept performance in variable signal strength
environments and boosts dynamic range. On-chip bias
circuitry offers low system cost. The input and output
match are external to allow maximum design flexibility.
The external resistor used to set device current enables
balancing required linearity with low current
consumption. Gain is optimized for applications
<1000 MHz.

Applications Information
The MC13852 LNA is designed for applications in the 400 MHz to 1 GHz range. It has three different
modes: High Gain, Low Gain (bypass) and Standby. The LNA is programmable through the Gain and
Enable pins. The logic truth table is given in Table 3. The internal bypass switch is designed for broadband
applications.
One of the advantages of the MC13852 is the simplification of the matching network in both bypass and
amplifier modes. The bypass switch is designed so that changes of input and output return losses between
bypass mode and active mode are minimized and the matching network design is simplified.
In these application examples, a balance is made between the competing RF performance characteristics
of Icc, NF, gain, IP3, and return losses with unconditional stability. Conjugate matching is not used for the
input or output. Instead, matching which achieves a trade-off in RF performance qualities is used. For a
particular application or specification requirement, the matching can be changed to achieve enhanced
performance of one parameter.
Measurements are made at a bias of Vcc = 2.75 V. Frequency spacing for IP3 measurements is 200 kHz.
Non-linear measurements are made at Pin = -30 dBm. Typical application circuits are provided for
434 MHz and 900 MHz applications. Typical RF performance is shown for two values of bias resistor R1:
1.2 kΩ and 1.5 kΩ. These two current drain levels offer variations in intercept point, gain and noise figure.
Included with each application are the schematics and electrical performance.
• Section 4 provides the evaluation board layout and Bill of Material for the circuits.
• Section 5 provides Smith charts with gain and noise circles for each application frequency.

434 MHz Application
This application was designed to provide typical NF = 1.65 dB, S21 gain = 20 dB, OIP3 =10.6 dBm at
434 MHz. Typical performance that can be expected from this circuit at 2.75 V is listed in Table 6. The
component values can be changed to enhance the performance of a particular parameter, but usually at the
expense of another. Two values of bias resistor R1 are shown to demonstrate performance for different IP3
and Icc requirements.
• Values of external resistor R1 are varied to adjust Icc and IP3.
• Inductor L3 provides bias to the logic circuit.

900 MHz Application
This application circuit is designed to demonstrate performance at 900 MHz. Typical results of
NF = 1.2 dB, S21 gain = 18.5 dB, and OIP3 of 14.2 dBm.
By varying the value of resistor R1, the current draw and IP3 performance of the device can be tailored for
a particular application. Two values of bias resistor R1 are shown to demonstrate performance for different
IP3 and Icc requirements.
• Resistor R3 is used to de-Q output inductor L2 and adjust gain and return losses. Reducing R3
lowers gain and improves return losses.
• Inductor L1 can be raised in value at lower current operation to improve return losses.
Typical performance that can be expected from this circuit at 2.75 V is listed in Table 7.
Figure 8 is the 900 MHz application schematic with package pinouts and the circuit component topology.

Figure 9 is the drawing of the printed circuit board. Figure 11and Figure 12 are drawings of the evaluation
boards used for each of the application frequency designs described in Section 3. These drawings show the
boards with the circuit matching components placed and identified.
The Bill of Materials for the application frequency circuit boards is listed in Table 8 and Table 9. The
value, case size, manufacturer and circuit function of each component is shown.
Note: Dimensions are in inches and [mm].
Soldering Note: The center flag under the part must be soldered down to ground on the board.

Figure 13 through Figure 16 are the constant noise figure and gain circles with input and output stability
regions shown on Smith charts. Gamma opt, noise resistance and stability at the frequency are shown for
two values of the external bias resistor at 450, 700, 900 and 1000 MHz.

Revision History
Table 16 summarizes revisions to this document since the last revision.
Table 16. Revision History
Revision
Description of Changes
2.0
• Updated entire document for changes due to increased operating frequency range (now 400–1000 MHz, was
800–1000 MHz) and increased operating ambient temperature range (now -40 to 85°C, was -30 to 85°C), and to
the change in packaging from MLF8 to MLPD-8 (Section 6).
• Electrical characteristics (Section 2) were updated.
• New application examples (Section 3) for 434 and 900 MHz replace previous examples for 880 and 950 MHz.
• For the new application examples (Section 3), printed circuit board layouts were added and bills of materials were
updated (Section 4).
• Scattering and noise parameters (with Smith charts for 450, 700, 900, and 1000 MHz) were added in Section 5.
