MAAL-010705 Low Noise Amplifier 0.5-1.6 GHz Features Rev. V2 Functional Block Diagram Low Noise Figure Excellent Input Return Loss Single Voltage Bias 3 V Integrated Active Bias Circuit Current Adjustable 20-80 mA with an External Resistor High Linearity, OIP3 > 32 dBm Small Package: 2 mm PDFN-8LD RoHS* Compliant and 260°C Reflow Compatible Description The MAAL-010705 is a high dynamic range single stage MMIC LNA with excellent linearity and low noise figure designed for operation from 0.5 to 1.6 GHz. The LNA is packaged in an RoHS compliant leadless 2 mm 8-lead PDFN package. This MMIC has an integrated active bias circuit allowing direct connection to +3 V voltage supply and minimizing variation over temperature and process. The bias current and gain can be set with external resistors to allow the user to customize the current and gain value to fit the application. The MAAL-010705 offers less than 0.7 dB noise figure, more than 32 dBm OIP3 and 20 dB input return loss. The excellent input match, low noise figure and high OIP3 along with the flexibility of setting current and gain make this LNA ideal for 3G and 4G cellular infrastructure applications. For optimum performance above 1.6 GHz the MAAL -010706 is recommended. The MAAL-010705 and MAAL-010706 share the package type and footprint.

Schematic Optional Schematic VBIAS and VD are separate connections on the evaluation board to give the option of varying Id without changing R4. They can be connected together to a single voltage supply during the measurement and in the final layout implementation of the PCB. If two different voltage supplies are used then apply VD first and then VBIAS to turn on the LNA. To turn off the LNA disconnect VBIAS first and then VD. R3 is varied to obtain different levels of gain. R4 is varied to change the drain current Id. Optional schematic illustrates alternate grounding choice for C13 through pin 5. Pin 5 is grounded internally in the package. Electrical performance of both layout methods is identical. 8 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. and its affiliates reserve the right to make changes to the product(s) or information contained herein without notice.
