Design with confidence
using our latest RF discretes
Our expanded portfolio of RF discretes – combined with our unrivaled RF expertise,
tailored support, and manufacturing muscle – means you can conquer even your toughest
RF challenges.
KEY FEATURES
`` Automotive-qualified RF transistors
`` Unmatched varicap diodes
`` High-efficiency DVB-S LNB solutions
`` Low-power broadband access modules
Every RF design is a little different, but no matter you need
to do – whether it’s an extensive redesign just swapping
out a part – you can rely on NXP to have the answer. Our
expanded portfolio of RF discretes lets you add flexibility and
performance in every situation.

NEW RANGE OF WIDEBAND RF TRANSISTORS
(AUTOMOTIVE-QUALIFIED)
These next-generation devices offer the best RF noise figure
versus gain performance for broadband amplification up to
1.5 GHz. They generate 20 dB of maximum gain and a noise
figure of 0.7 dB at 900 MHz. This exceptional performance allows
for better signal reception at low to medium power, and enables
RF receivers to operate more robustly in noisy environments.
These devices are ideally suited for automotive,
communication, and industrial applications, since they support
high supply voltages and high breakdown voltages when used
as (low-noise) amplifiers or oscillators. They’re available in a
wide range of industry-standard packages, including SOT323,
SOT23, and SOT143.
NEW UNMATCHED VARICAP DIODES BB1XX/BB2XX
For applications that need filter tuning, we’re adding new
varicap diodes to our PIN and band switch portfolio. These
are unmatched equivalents of our discontinued varicap types,
and deliver the same high level of consistency in performance
and supply. We’re also adding more automotive-qualified
(AEC-Q101) versions to our PIN and bandswitch portfolio.
DISCRETE AND INTEGRATED DVB-S LNB SOLUTIONS
Our complete family of wideband gain blocks, the BGA28xx
series, is optimized for DVB-S (satellite) LNBs. These MMICs
are well suited for general-purpose IF applications and offer
best-in-class P1dB versus current consumption. Also, to save
board space and streamline operation, these devices don’t
require an output inductor when they’re used at the output
stage.
For discrete oscillators in Ku-band LNBs, we recommend the
BFU660F wideband transistor. For next-generation Ku-band
designs, we offer fully integrated downconverters with the
industry’s lowest ratings for current consumption.
These Universal DVB-S compliant downconverters include a
PLL, a VCO, a mixer, and an IF gain block, and consume just 52
mA of current, which is roughly 40% less than other integrated
solutions. They are also fully RF tested, so they reduce
manufacturing time.
LOW-POWER CATV MODULES
In response to growing demand for more environmentally
friendly products, we’ve introduced CATV power doublers
that consume just 365 mA, or about 17% less power than our
original products. The CGD982LC, CGD985LC, and CDG1042L
are 1 GHz devices that are ideal for use as in-line extenders
and trunk amplifiers.
SUPPORT TOOLS
To help designers save time and simplify development, we
offer several support tools. There are starter kits for each
package, complete with evaluation boards and samples, as
well as application notes and Mextram/SPICE device models.
