BGA7210
700 MHz to 3800 MHz high linearity variable gain amplifier
Rev. 2 — 4 January 2012
Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BGA7210 MMIC is an extremely linear Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA), operating from
0.7 GHz to 3.8 GHz. The maximum gain is 30 dB. It has an attenuation range of 31.5 dB.
At its minimum attenuation setting it has a maximum output power of 21 dBm, an IP3O of
39 dBm and a noise figure of 6.5 dB.
The current consumption can be optimized per attenuation setting allowing for optimized
overall system performance. The current consumption and attenuation level are controlled
through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The current can be reduced to 120 mA.
Optimal linearity performance is obtained at 185 mA. The BGA7210 has a fast switching
power-down pin to further reduce current consumption during idle time.
The BGA7210 has been designed and qualified for the severe mission profile of cellular
base stations, but its outstanding RF performance and interfacing flexibility make it
suitable for a wide variety of applications.
The BGA7210 is housed in a 32 pins 5 mm  5 mm leadless HVQFN32 package.

9. Serial Peripheral Interface
9.1 Command word format
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) operates in mode 0. This means that when the SPI is
inactive the clock pin is logically LOW. When the SPI interface is active the data is clocked
in at the rising edge of the clock pulse; data is clocked out at the negative edge. The
control word length is 12 bits (see Figure 2), however the word length can be extended
appropriately with trailing zeros (see Figure 3).

The word written on the input (SER_IN) will be replicated on the output (SER_OUT)
9.2 Setting current and attenuation
The current and attenuation are set by bits D9 to D0 and are preceded by the command
bits C0 and C1, which are always set to logic LOW, see Figure 4. If all bits are set to logic
LOW (0x000) then current is at maximum and attenuation is at minimum; if all bits are set
to logic HIGH (0x3FF) then current is at minimum and attenuation is at maximum.

Command to set current of the first amplifier (D9, D8); second amplifier (D7, D6) and
attenuation (D5, ... , D2)
Depending on the attenuation setting the current through the first amplifier and the second
amplifier can be optimized, without compromising on linearity. At attenuations less than
9 dB the current in the first amplifier can be reduced with 10 mA; at attenuations equal or
larger than 9 dB the current in the second amplifier can be reduced by 15 mA.

10. Power-up and power save
The PUPMXG/PWRDN pin determines the attenuation and currents at start-up of the chip
(see Table 13). After start-up it can be used to power-down the device.

11. Application information
11.1 Application board
A customer application board is available from NXP upon request. It includes USB
interface circuitry and customer software to facilitate evaluation of the BGA7210.
The final application shall be terminated with 50  and decoupled as depicted in Figure 7.
The ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the ground plane.
A sufficient number of via holes should be provided to connect the top and bottom ground
planes in the final application board. Sufficient cooling should be provided that the
temperature of the exposed die pad does not exceed 85 C.

Short data sheet — A short data sheet is an extract from a full data sheet
with the same product type number(s) and title. A short data sheet is intended
for quick reference only and should not be relied upon to contain detailed and
full information. For detailed and full information see the relevant full data
sheet, which is available on request via the local NXP Semiconductors sales
office. In case of any inconsistency or conflict with the short data sheet, the
full data sheet shall prevail.
Product specification — The information and data provided in a Product
data sheet shall define the specification of the product as agreed between
NXP Semiconductors and its customer, unless NXP Semiconductors and
customer have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. In no event however,
shall an agreement be valid in which the NXP Semiconductors product is
deemed to offer functions and qualities beyond those described in the
Product data sheet.
16.3 Disclaimers
Limited warranty and liability — Information in this document is believed to
be accurate and reliable. However, NXP Semiconductors does not give any

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.
Terms and conditions of commercial sale — NXP Semiconductors
products are sold subject to the general terms and conditions of commercial
sale, as published at http://www.nxp.com/profile/terms, unless otherwise
agreed in a valid written individual agreement. In case an individual
agreement is concluded only the terms and conditions of the respective
agreement shall apply. NXP Semiconductors hereby expressly objects to
applying the customer’s general terms and conditions with regard to the
purchase of NXP Semiconductors products by customer.
No offer to sell or license — Nothing in this document may be interpreted or
construed as an offer to sell products that is open for acceptance or the grant,
conveyance or implication of any license under any copyrights, patents or
other industrial or intellectual property rights.
