AVAGO MGA-684P8-TR1G

MGA-684P8
Low Noise Active Bias Low Noise Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Features
Avago Technologies’ MGA-684P8 is an economical, easyto-use GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA). The LNA
has low noise and high linearity achieved through the
use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25 m GaAs
Enhancement-mode pHEMT process. It is housed in a
miniature 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.75 mm3 8-pin Quad-Flat-Non-Lead
(QFN) package. It is designed for optimum use from 1.5
GHz up to 4 GHz. The compact footprint and low profile
coupled with low noise, high gain and high linearity make
the MGA-684P8 an ideal choice as a low noise amplifier for
cellular infrastructure for GSM and CDMA. For optimum
performance at lower frequency from 450 MHz up to 1.5
GHz, MGA-683P8 is recommended. Both MGA-683P8 and
MGA-684P8 share the same package and pinout configuration.

Note:
 The schematic is shown with the assumption that similar PCB is used
for both MGA-683P8 and MGA-684P8.
 Detail of the components needed for this product is shown in Table 1.
 Enhancement mode technology employs positive gate voltage,
thereby eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated
with conventional depletion mode devices.
 Good RF practice requires all unused pins to be earthed.

Notes:
1. Measurements at 1.9 GHz obtained using demo board described in Figure 1.
2. OIP3 test condition: FRF1 = 1.9 GHz, FRF2 = 1.901 GHz with input power of -10 dBm per tone.
3. For NF data, board losses of the input have not been de-embedded.
4. Use proper bias, heatsink and derating to ensure maximum channel temperature is not exceeded. See absolute maximum ratings and application
note for more details.

Notes:
1. The Fmin values are based on noise figure measurements at 100 different impedances using Focus source pull test system. From these
measurements a true Fmin is calculated.
2. Scattering and noise parameters are measured on coplanar waveguide made on 0.010 inch thick ROGER 4350. The input reference plane is at the
end of the RFinput pin and the output reference plane is at the end of the RFoutput pin as shown in Figure 16.
