Introduction
The MBC13720 is a high IP3, low noise amplifier
designed for 400 MHz to 2.4 GHz multi-standard
wireless applications. The input and output match is
external to allow maximum design flexibility. The LNA
has two selectable current settings as well as a standby
mode. The LNA operates from a 2.5 to 3.0 V supply. The
MBC13720 is fabricated using an advanced RF
BiCMOS process with the SiGe:C option and is housed
in an ultra small SOT-363 surface mount package.

Application Information
The MBC13720 SiGe:C LNA is designed for applications in the 400 MHz to 2.4 GHz range. It has four
different modes: Low IP3, High IP3, Bypass, and Standby. The IC is programmable through the Enable 1
and Enable 2 pins. In Low IP3 mode, current consumption is optimized. Current consumption is higher in
High IP3 mode to boost the intercept point performance. The gain difference between Low IP3 and High
IP3 modes is typically 1.0 dB; and typically the Low IP3 mode has a slightly better noise figure
performance.
The internal bypass switch is designed for broadband applications. One of the advantages of the
MBC13720 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 amplifier
mode are minimized. As a result, the mismatch at the LNA input and output is minimized and the matching
network design is simplified.
In the design of the external matching network, conjugate matching does not necessarily provide the best
noise figure performance. Balancing between noise figure, gain, and intercept point is the major design
consideration.
Figure 6 shows the typical application circuit at 1.9 and 2.4 GHz. The noise figure, input intercept point,
gain, and return losses are optimized. L1 and C2 act as a low frequency trap to improve the input intercept
point.
In Figure 7, the typical application circuit for 900 MHz is shown. The input low frequency trap again is
used to maximize the input intercept point. It has moderate IP3 performance and high gain. Figure 8 shows
the 900 MHz application circuit with feedback network for higher IP3. Capacitive feedback is used to
increase the third order input intercept point while decreasing gain and provides unconditional stability.
The corresponding PCBs are shown in Figure 9 through Figure 11. Table 16 lists the bill of materials for
the 1900 MHz, 900 MHz, and High IP3 900 MHz application circuits. Typical characteristics of the
application boards are shown in Table 17.
