• • • • +15.2 dB Gain -10 dBm Input IP3 +3V Single Voltage Supply Low Current Consumption: 6mA The ICL series of Low Noise Amplifiers are general purpose, high performance LNAs designed for operation from 3V supply. The amplifiers housed in a low-cost surface mountable package provide a high output intercept point, high gain and low noise figure and require an external bias resistor for setting the bias current. • • • IF or RF Buffer Amplifier Driver/Pre-Driver for CATV/SAT TV Amplifier ISM Band Transceivers - WLAN - IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth GSM/CDMA Receivers The ICL2001-23 can be used for amplification in IF or RF buffer amplifiers. The amplifier provides a gain of 15dB typically at 850 MHz and has single ended input and output. The device can be operated with a single +3V supply. • The IC is available in industry standard 6L-SOT23 package. !

Pin # Symbol Description Bias resistor of appropriate value connected to this pin externally controls the bias current in the circuit and thus the gain. Ground connection. Keep traces physically short and immediately connect to ground plane. RF input pin. This pin is not internally DC blocked and thus requires an external blocking capacitor suitable for the frequency of operation. Bias should be supplied to this pin externally. Please note that an RF choke inductor is required. The supply should be well-bypassed. 1 Bias Ctrl 2 Gnd 3 RFin 4 Vcc 5 Gnd Same as Pin 1 RFout RF output pin.
