NXP broadband gain blocks
BGA70xx
Wideband SiGe amplifiers with flat gain
These internally matched SiGe devices present the flattest gain from 100 MHz to 5.5 GHz and can
be connected directly to a 5 V supply without an external dropping resistor. The result is a smaller,
cost-saving design with fewer power supply rails.
Key features
`` Frequency operating range: 30 MHz to 6 GHz
`` P1dB from 14.5 dBm (BGA7014) to 19.5 dBm`
(BGA7020) @ 1 GHz
`` 13 dB gain with flat response (100 MHz to 5.5 GHz)
`` Integrated active biasing
`` 5 V single supply operation
`` No external Vcc bias resistor required
`` All pins ESD protected to 2 kV HBM
`` SOT89 package
(CATV, SMATV) infrastructure and consumer (STB) designs. In
the ISM band, they enhance designs in eMetering and test and
measurement, and in aerospace and defense, they are an excellent
choice for military radio, electronic warfare, and radar.
Applications
`` Wireless and fixed infrastructure
`` Consumer entertainment
`` ISM band
`` Aerospace and defense
`` Test and measurement
Each device offers flat (1.5 dBpp) gain from 100 MHz to `
5.5 GHz enabling broadband and multiband systems , so
a single product can be used across multiple designs and
applications, for maximum cost savings through even the
highest volumes. The devices connect directly to a 5 V supply,
so there’s no need for an external Vcc bias resistor. This shrinks
the design and reduces system cost.
The NXP BGA7014, BGA7017, and BGA7020 are broadband
amplifiers with flat broadband gain.
The BGA70xx series extends NXP’s portfolio of amplifiers into
a new set of application areas, including wireless and fixed
At 1 dB gain compression, output power for the BGA7014 is
14.5 dBm, for the BGA7017 is 17 dBm, and for the BGA7020
is 19.5 dBm @ 1 GHz. All three devices deliver superior
performance between 30 MHz and 6 GHz, with minimal
external components.
To protect against ESD events caused by the end user, the
devices ensure robustness by offering the highest ESD
protection rating (2 kV HBM) on all pins.
