BGA7204 400 MHz to 2750 MHz high linearity variable gain amplifier Rev. 3 — 28 January 2013 Product data sheet 1. Product profile 1.1 General description The BGA7204 MMIC is an extremely linear Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA), operating from 0.4 GHz to 2.75 GHz. At minimum attenuation it has a gain of 18.5 dB, an output third-order intercept point (IP3O) of 38 dBm and a noise figure of 7 dB. The attenuation range is 31.5 dB with an attenuation step of 0.5 dB. The gain control is offered through a digital parallel interface or a digital serial interface (SPI). The digital serial interface offers advanced features like reprogramming the attenuation curve and on-chip temperature monitoring. The interfaces can be combined to support response to fast fading. The serial interface can be used to pre-set the desired gain level, whereas the parallel interface can be used to select this gain setting in 0.15 s. It has been designed and qualified for the severe mission profile of cellular base stations, but its outstanding RF performance and interfacing flexibility makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications. The BGA7204 is housed in a 32 pins 5 mm 5 mm leadless HVQFN package. 1.2 Features and benefits High output third-order intercept point (IP3O) of 38 dBm Attenuation range of 31.5 dB Output power at 1 dB compression of 21 dBm Noise figure of 7 dB at minimum attenuation Single 5 V supply Digital parallel and digital serial control (SPI) Programmable attenuation curve Temperature sensor ESD protection on all pins (HBM > 2 kV) Moisture sensitivity level 1 Compliant to Directive 2002/95/EC, regarding Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) 1.3 Applications IF and RF applications WiMAX and cellular base stations Cable modem termination systems Temperature compensation circuits BGA7204 NXP Semiconductors 400 MHz to 2750 MHz high linearity variable gain amplifier 1.4 Quick reference data Table 1.

If LE/SS (pin 27) is logical HIGH the attenuation control word D5 to D0 is transferred to the attenuator register and the attenuator assumes the new attenuation setting. Upon a negative edge of LE/SS (pin 27) the actual attenuation control word will be hold: any changes in the control word at the parallel interface will be ignored. The timing is depicted in Figure 7.

Figure 4 depicts the timing diagram of SPI data format in the basic SPI mode. The data is clocked into a 6-bit shift register. This mode also allows daisy chaining of multiple chips. Figure 8 shows a configuration of two VGAs in daisy chain. Data word D5 to D0 is stored in Attenuator 1, while data word E5 to E0 is stored in Attenuator 0. On the rising edge of LE/SS (pin 27), the data is captured and stored in the attenuator register. At the same moment the stored words become active on the attenuator outputs.

In case of a read operation the logic state of bits 0 to 6 don't care for the data from the master to the slave. The bits are updated by the slave.

[2] D3 to D0 (bit 3 to 0) forms the temperature read out word. [3] D3 to D0 (bit 3 to 0) forms the temperature threshold for the temperature protection. Next to the temperature, RF, PG or MG is selected (mutual exclusive). In case RF is selected the RF part of the chip will switch off if the threshold is exceeded. If PG is selected the attenuator will switch to the attenuation gain that is configured with the PUPn pins if the threshold is exceeded. If MG is selected the attenuation gain will drop to a minimum value if the threshold is exceeded. [4] TS (bit 0) enables the temperature sensor, AM (bit 1) enables the amplifier and AT (bit 2) enables the attenuator. [5] D5 to D0 (bit 5 to 0) forms the attenuation control word to be programmed at address C5 to C0 (bit 13 to 8). After reset the curve is linear: D5 to D0 = C5 to C0 for all attenuation states. [6] Returns 04: 4 bits for third digit (0000 = 0) and 4 bits for the last digit (0010 = 2) of the chip type. Figure 9 depicts the timing diagram of SPI data write format in extended mode. The first 8 bits indicate the command. The first data bit indicates if it is a read or write action. In case of a read action, the data bits on pin SER_OUT (pin 14) are replaced with the read value.

These pins configure the attenuation after start-up (see Table 15) depending on how LE/SS (pin 27) and PSCONFIG (pin 24) are configured at start-up (see Table 16). Table 15.

The attenuation gain remains valid until it is updated with the parallel interface or SPI interface. 10.8 Power-on sequence Digital inputs (SPICONFIG, PWRDN, PUP2, PUP1, D5, D4, D3, D2, D1, D0, PSCONFIG and LE/SS) should be powered simultaneously or after VDD and GND are powered (see also Table 5). This prevents damage to the ESD protection diodes of the digital input. If the digital inputs need to be powered before VDD is powered measures should be taken to limit the current to 20 mA, e.g. by means of an external resistor.

BGA7204 Product data sheet Suitability for use — NXP Semiconductors products are not designed, authorized or warranted to be suitable for use in life support, life-critical or safety-critical systems or equipment, nor in applications where failure or malfunction of an NXP Semiconductors product can reasonably be expected to result in personal injury, death or severe property or environmental damage. NXP Semiconductors and its suppliers accept no liability for inclusion and/or use of NXP Semiconductors products in such equipment or applications and therefore such inclusion and/or use is at the customer’s own risk. Applications — Applications that are described herein for any of these products are for illustrative purposes only. NXP Semiconductors makes no representation or warranty that such applications will be suitable for the specified use without further testing or modification. Customers are responsible for the design and operation of their applications and products using NXP Semiconductors products, and NXP Semiconductors accepts no liability for any assistance with applications or customer product design. It is customer’s sole responsibility to determine whether the NXP Semiconductors product is suitable and fit for the customer’s applications and products planned, as well as for the planned application and use of customer’s third party customer(s). Customers should provide appropriate design and operating safeguards to minimize the risks associated with their applications and products. NXP Semiconductors does not accept any liability related to any default, damage, costs or problem which is based on any weakness or default in the customer’s applications or products, or the application or use by customer’s third party customer(s). Customer is responsible for doing all necessary testing for the customer’s applications and products using NXP Semiconductors products in order to avoid a default of the applications and the products or of the application or use by customer’s third party customer(s). NXP does not accept any liability in this respect. Limiting values — Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent damage to the device. Limiting values are stress ratings only and (proper) operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those given in the Recommended operating conditions section (if present) or the Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or repeated exposure to limiting values will permanently and irreversibly affect the quality and reliability of the device.
