r
High OIP3 of 15dBm @ max. gain @ -51dBm
input power.
r
Single 3.6V supply.
r
Temperature and supply stabilized.
r
Power down feature.
r
100MHz to 300MHz operation.
r
Silicon BiCMOS process.
r
Miniature surface mount 16 pin, 150 mil SSOP
package.
Key specifications like gain range, noise figure, IP3,
temperature range and other specifications are
designed to be in line with the IS-95 standard for
CDMA cellular communications.
The circuit is designed for narrow band IF
applications but can also be used in wideband
applications.
Applications

Notes:

2) HBM: R=1.5kOhm, C=100pF.
Open collector outputs have less ESD protection because the protection diode to the positive supply
cannot be implemented (The output swing is higher than Vpos.+0.7V).
3) 260 deg C for 10 sec (Reflow and wave soldering), 360 deg C for 3 sec (Manual soldering).
The above figures conform to CMOS standard for low leakage application.
