Agilent MGA-71543 Low Noise Amplifier with Mitigated Bypass Switch Data Sheet Features • Operating frequency: 0.1 GHz ~ 6.0 GHz • Noise figure: 0.8 dB (NFmin) • Gain: 16 dB • Average Idd = 2mA in CDMA handset Description Agilent’s MGA-71543 is an economical, easy-to-use GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), which is designed for adaptive CDMA and W-CDMA receiver systems. The MGA-71543 is part of the Agilent Technologies complete CDMAdvantage RF chipset. The MGA-71543 features a minimum noise figure of 0.8 dB and 16 dB available gain from a single stage, feedback FET amplifier. The input and output are partially matched, and only a simple series/shunt inductor match is required to achieve low noise figure and VSWR into 50Ω. The MGA-71543 is designed for CDMA and W-CDMA receiver systems. The IP3, Gain, and mitigative network are tailored to these applications where filters are used. Many CDMA systems operate 20% LNA mode, 80% bypass. With the bypass current draw of zero and LNA of 10 mA, the MGA-71543 allows an average 2 mA current. The MGA-71543 is a GaAs MMIC, processed on Agilent’s cost effective PHEMT (Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor Technology). It is housed in the SOT343 (SC70 4-lead) package. • Bypass switch on chip Loss = -5.6 dB (Id < 5 µA) IIP3 = +35 dBm • Adjustable input IP3: 0 to +9 dBm • 2.7 V to 4.2 V operation Applications • CDMA (IS-95, J-STD-008) Receiver LNA • Transmit Driver Amp • W-CDMA Receiver LNA • TDMA (IS-136) handsets Surface Mount Package SOT-343/4-lead SC70 Pin Connections and Package Marking 3 INPUT & Vref RF Gnd & Vs 4 1 71x When set into the bypass mode, both input and output are internally matched through a mitigative circuit. This circuit draws no current, yet duplicates the in and out impedance of the LNA. This allows the system user to have minimum mismatch change from LNA to bypass mode, which is very important when the MGA-71543 is used between duplexers and/or filters. The MGA-71543 offers an integrated solution of LNA with adjustable IIP3. The IIP3 can be fixed to a desired current level for the receiver’s linearity requirements. The LNA has a bypass switch function, which provides low insertion loss at zero current. The bypass mode also boosts dynamic range when high level signal is being received.

As P1dB is approached, the drain current may increase or decrease depending on frequency and DC bias point which typically 88759/06-PM60J-11 Page 5 results in higher P1dB than if the drain current is maintained constant by active biasing. 5.

RF IN The MGA-71543 is a small LNA/ Bypass Switch MMIC that provides a low noise figure, a high gain and high third order input intercept point (IIP3) ideal for the first stage LNA of PCS CDMA and W-CDMA. Device Description The MGA-71543 is a single stage GaAs IC with a built-in bypass switch housed in a SOT-343 package. The device diagram is shown in Figures 1 and 2. RF OUT Bypass Mode RF in Switch & Bias Figure 1. MGA-71543 Functional Diagram. RF out ing the same matching network at both states (LNA State and Bypass State). This makes the MGA-71543 ideal for use between duplexers and image reject filters. The MGA-71543 offers an integrated solution of LNA with adjustable IIP3. The IIP3 can be fixed to a desired current level for the receiver’s linearity requirements. The LNA has a bypass switch function, which sets the current to zero (2 µA) and provides low insertion loss when in bypass mode. The bypass mode also boosts dynamic range when high level signal is being received. Amplifier Mode Many CDMA systems operate 20% LNA and 80% bypass mode. For example, with the bypass draw of zero and LNA of 10 mA, the MGA-71543 allows an average of only 2 mA current. Figure 2. Simplified Schematic. This application note describes a low noise amplifier design using Agilent Technologies’ MGA-71543. + – + – Control The MGA-71543 is designed for receivers and transmitters operating from 100 MHz to 6 GHz, mainly for CDMA applications i.e. IS-95 CDMA1900, CDMA800 and W-CDMA. It can be used as a first stage (Q1) in a CDMA PCS 1900 MHz application currently filled by a single transistor. Its bypass capability adds features over the single transistor solution with no performance loss. The device can also be used as a driver amplifier for CDMA800. The purpose of the switch feature is to prevent distortion of high signal levels in receiver applications by bypassing the amplifier. Furthermore, zero current draw, when in bypass mode, saves current thus improving battery life. The internally matched switching circuit provides a 20 dB gain step and also reduces gain ripple and mismatch in system usage. Input & DCref Output & Vd Gain FET GND & Vc GND Figure 3. Bypass State Duplicates the In and Out Impedance. The MGA-71543 is a GaAs MMIC, processed on Agilent’s cost effective PHEMT (Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor Technology). It is housed in the SOT343 (SC70 4-lead) package. Biasing This IC can be biased like a depletion mode discrete GaAsFET. Two kinds of passive biasing can be used: gate bias (Figure 4) and source resistor bias method (Figure 6). The MGA-71543 features a minimum noise figure of 0.8 dB and 16 dB available gain. The input and output are partially matched, and only a simple series/shunt inductor match is required to achieve low noise figure and VSWR into 50Ω. When set into the bypass mode, both input and output are internally matched through a mitigative circuit. This circuit draws no current (less than 2 µA), yet duplicates the in and out impedance of the LNA (Figure 3). This allows the system user to have minimum mismatch change from LNA to Bypass mode, thus allow- Gate Bias Pins 1 and 4 (Figure 4) are DC grounded and a negative bias voltage is applied to Pin 3 in addition to the power supply (2.7 or 3 V) applied to Pin 2. This method of biasing has the advantage of minimizing parasitic source inductance because the device is directly DC and RF grounded. 14 88759/06-PM60J-11 Page 14 2001.04.26, 10:44 AM Adobe PageMaker 6.0J/PPC 3 Input 1 71 4 Vref 2 Output & Vd Figure 4. Gate Bias Method. The DC supply at the input terminal (Vref) can be applied through a RF choke (inductor). The voltage at Vref (Pin 3) with respect to ground determines the device current, Id. A plot of typical Id vs. Vref is shown in Figure 5. Maximum device current (approximately 60 mA) occurs at Vref = 0 (i.e. Vgs= 0). When using the gate biasing method, the bypass mode is activated when Vds = 0 V and Vref < -2V. The current of the amplifier (Id) is set by the value of the resistor Rbias. This resistor (Rbias) is connected at Pin 4 as shown in Figure 6 and RF bypassed. At least two capacitors in parallel are recommended for RF bypassing. One capacitor (100 pF) for high frequency bypassing and a second, large value capacitor for better low frequency bypassing. The large value capacitor is added in parallel to improve the IP3 because they help ground the low frequency mixing terms that are generated during a two tones test (i.e. f1 – f2 term which is the separation of the two tones usually 1 to a few MHz) and thus improve the IIP3. 3 Input 1 71 4 70 60 Output & Vd 2 Rbias Id (mA) 50 40 Figure 6.

A simple method for DC grounding the input terminal (Pin 3) is to use a shunt inductor that is also part of the noise-matching network. Adaptive Biasing For applications in which input power levels vary over a wide range, it may be useful to dynamically adapt the bias of the MGA-71543 to match the signal level. A sensor senses the signal level at some point in the system (usually in the baseband circuitry) and automatically adjusts the bias current of the amplifier accordingly. The main advantage of adaptive biasing is conservation of supply current (longer battery life) by using only the amount of current necessary to handle the input signal without distortion. 30 3 20 Source Resistor Bias This is the recommended method because it only requires one (positive) power supply. As shown in Figure 6, Pin 3 is DC grounded and pins 1 and 4 are RF bypassed. Rbias = 964 (1 – 0.112 √ Id) Id Adaptive biasing of the MGA-71543 can be accomplished by simple digital means (Figure 8). For instance simple electronic switches can be used to control the value of the source resistor in discrete increment. A plot of typical Id vs. Rbias is shown in Figure 7. Figure 5.

The bias line is capacitively bypassed to keep RF from the DC supply lines and prevent resonant dips or peaks in the response of the amplifier. Where practical, it may be cost effective to use a length of high impedance transmission line (usually λ /4 line) in place of the RFC. When using the gate bias method, the applied device voltage, Vds, is equal to voltage Vd (at pin 2) since Vs is zero. Vd ~ +2.5 V RF Input RF Output 2 1 71 3 4 Vref = -0.5 V Controlling the Switch The device current controls the state of the MGA-71543 (amplifier or bypass mode). For device currents greater than 3 mA, it functions as an amplifier. If a lower current is drawn, the gain of the amplifier is significantly reduced and the performance will degrade. If the device current is set to zero, the MGA-71543 is switched into a bypass mode in which the signal is routed around the amplifier with a loss of about 5.6 dB. The simplest way of switching the MGA-71543 to the bypass mode is to open-circuit the terminals at Pins 1 and 4. The bypass mode is also set by increasing the source resistance Rbias to greater than 1 MΩ. With the DC ground connection open, the internal control circuit of the MGA-71543 autoswitches from amplifier mode into a bypass mode and the device current drops to near zero. Typical bypass mode current is 2 µA. Figure 9. DC Schematic for Gate Bias. 3 For source resistor biasing method, the applied device voltage, Vds, is Vd – Vs. The bias control voltage is Vs (Pin 4) which is set by the external bias resistor. A source resistor bias circuit is shown in Figure 10.

A digital switch can be used to control the amplifier and Bypass State as shown in Figure 11. 4 Rbias Figure 10. DC Schematic for Source Bias. Switching Speed The speed at which the MGA-71543 switches between states is extremely fast. The intrinsic switching speed is typically around 10 ns. However in practical circuits, the switching speed is limited by the time constants of the external bias circuit components (current setting resistor and bypass capacitors). These external components increase the switching time to around 100ns. Furthermore, the switching ON time is slightly lower (faster) than the switching OFF time (i.e. It switches on faster). Thermal issues The Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) of semiconductors is inversely proportional to the operating temperature. When biased at 3V and 10 mA for LNA applications, the power dissipation is 3V x 10 mA = 30 mW. The temperature increment from the RFIC channel to its case is then 30 mW x θ jc = 0.030 watt x 240°C/watt = 7.2°C. Subtracting the channel-to-case temperature rise from the suggested maximum junction temperature of 150°C, the resulting maximum allowable case temperature is 143°C. The worst case thermal situation occurs when the MGA-71543 is operated at its maximum operating conditions in an effort to maximize output power or achieve minimum distortion. A similar calculation for the maximum operating bias of 4.2 volts and 50 mA yields a maximum allowable case temperature of 100°C. (i.e. 210 mW x θ jc = 0.210 watt x 240°C/watt = 50.4°C 150°C – 50.4°C = 100°C.) This calculation assumes the worst case of no RF power being extracted from the device. When operated in a saturated mode, both power-added efficiency and the maximum allowable case temperature will increase. Note: “Case” temperature for surface mount packages such as the SOT-343 refers to the interface between the package pins and the 16 88759/06-PM60J-11 Page 16 2001.04.26, 10:44 AM Adobe PageMaker 6.0J/PPC mounting surface, i.e., the temperature at the PCB mounting pads. The primary heat path from the RFIC chip to the system heatsink is by means of conduction through the package leads and ground vias to the ground plane of the PCB. Grounding Consideration in PCB Layout The MGA-71543 requires careful attention during grounding. Any device with gain can be made to oscillate if feedback is added. Since poor grounding adds series feedback, it can cause the device to oscillate. Poor grounding is one of the most common causes of oscillation in RF components. Careful attention should be used when RF bypassing the ground terminals when the device is biased using the source resistor method.

PCB Pad Print for SOT-343 Package (mm/inches). RF bypass For layouts using the source resistor method of biasing, both of the ground terminals of the MGA-71543 must be well bypassed to maintain device stability. Beginning with the package pad print in Figure 12, and RF layout similar to the one shown in Figure 13 is a good starting point for using the MGA-71543 with capacitor-bypassed ground terminals. It is a best practice to use multiple vias to minimize overall ground path inductance. Size 0402 recommended for the bypass capacitors LNA Application In the following sections the LNA design is described in a more general way. Sample evaluation boards for 1900 MHz and 800 MHz are shown in a table (Table 1) and the appropriate board diagram is shown (Figures 22 and 23). A second smaller size board is also shown (Figures 25 and 26) with the corresponding table (Table 2). The smaller board is an example of reducing the size of the layout, more suitable for handset manufacturers. For low noise amplifier application, the LNA is typically biased 6 to 20 mA. The MGA-71543 is a conditionally stable device, therefore, the proper input and output loads must be presented in addition to properly RF grounding the device. Please refer to the stability section for tips on preventing oscillation. The LNA can be switched ON or OFF by a simply varying the resistor to its ground leads as described in previous sections. 71 Figure 13. Layout for RF Bypass. PCB Materials 0.031 inches thick of FR-4 or G-10 type dielectric materials are typical choices for most low cost wireless applications using single layer printed boards. As an alternative, a Getek material with a multilayer printed circuit board can be used for a smaller size board, where: 1st layer: RF routing layer 2nd layer: Ground layer 3rd layer: Power (DC) routing layer 4th layer: Other RF routing layer The spacing between the layers is as follows: Between the 1st and 2nd: 0.005" Between the 2nd and 3rd: 0.020" Between the 3rd and 4th: 0.005" The layout is shown with a footprint of the MGA-71543 superimposed on the PCB pads for reference. Matching Networks for the LNA Γin Input Match ΓL Output Match LNA 50Ω 50Ω Γs or Γopt Γopt Figure 14. Input and Output Matching Terminology. The input matching network determines the noise figure and return loss (S11) of our amplifier. The output-matching network determines the IP3 and output return loss (S22). Furthermore, both input and output matching networks influence the gain. The best gain (Maximum Available Gain-MAG) and lowest input return loss is obtained when both the input and output are conju- 17 88759/06-PM60J-11 Page 17 2001.04.26, 10:45 AM Adobe PageMaker 6.0J/PPC gately matched to 50Ω. For instance at the input, when Γs = Γin* the highest gain with the best power transfer is obtained where Γs is the source reflection coefficient presented to the input pin. For best noise, Γs = ΓOPT, where ΓOPT is the source reflection coefficient for optimum NF match and is determined empirically (experimentally). However, an input match where Γs = ΓOPT does not necessarily yield the best return loss nor the best gain. Input Match To allow flexibility for the designer, the LNA is intended to be used with external matching network at the input. The noise performance of a two port can be determined if the values of the noise parameters Fmin, rn = Rn /50 and ΓOPT are known (shown in the datasheet), where these parameters are given by: F50 = Fmin + 4rn|Γs – ΓOPT| 2 (1 – |Γs| 2 ) |1 + ΓOPT| 2 2 rn = (F50 – Fmin) |1 + ΓOPT| 4|ΓOPT| 2 ΓOPT = ZOPT – ZO ZOPT + ZO Where Fmin is the minimum noise figure that is obtained when Γs = ΓOPT . Rn is the noise resistance that indicates the sensitivity of the noise performance. Γs is the source reflection coefficient presented to the input pin. ΓOPT is the source reflection coefficient for optimum NF match. Any change in Γs affects the noise figure of our amplifier. To obtain the best noise figure, the following relation: Γs = ΓOPT must be satisfied. However, this might affect our return loss at the input because it creates more mismatch (at the input) and there is less power transfer to the LNA. Therefore the best solution should be the one that gives a reasonable input return loss with the best noise figure associated to it. The noise figure F of an amplifier is determined by the input matching circuit. The output matching does not affect the noise (has a significantly minimal effect on noise figure). To obtain the best noise match a simple two elements match is used at the input of the device. Using the ΓOPT magnitude and phase at the frequency of interest, the noise match is done. The topology that has a capacitor to ground is ignored because it does not allow the input to be DC grounded as is required by the source bias method. Therefore the series-L-shunt-L topology is used. The final values of the noise matching circuit (input match) was a result of some more empirical tuning in the lab that was a compromise between the various important parameters. Typical Gain, noise and stability circles are shown in Figures 17 – 20. Most simulations were done using Agilent-EEsof’s Advanced Design System (ADS). Stability A stable circuit is a circuit that does not oscillate. Oscillation can take the form of spurious signal and noise generation. This usually results in changes in DC operating point (bias level fluctuates). The oscillations can be triggered by changes in the source (input match), load (output match), bias level and last but not least: improper grounding. Design for Stability The main potential for oscillation with the MGA-71543 is improper grounding and/or improper RF bypass capacitors. Any device with gain can be made to oscillate if feedback is added. Proper grounding may be achieved by minimizing inductance paths to the ground plane. Passive components should be chosen for high frequency operation. Bias circuit self resonance due to inadequate bypass capacitors or inadequate grounding may cause high frequency, out of band, instability. Smaller 0402 size bypass capacitors are recommended to minimize parasitic inductance and resonance of the bias circuit. Statistical Parameters Several categories of parameters appear within the electrical specification portion of the MGA-71543 datasheet. Parameters may be described with values that are either “minimum or maximum”, “typical” or “standard deviations”. The values for parameters are based on comprehensive product characterization data, in which automated measurements are made on a statistically significant number of parts taken from nonconsecutive process lots of semiconductor wafers. The data derived from product characterization tends to be normally distributed, e.g. fits the standard bell curve. 68% 95% 99% -3σ -2σ -1σ Mean (µ) +1σ +2σ (typical) Parameter Value Figure 15. Normal Distribution Curve. 18 88759/06-PM60J-11 Page 18 2001.04.26, 10:45 AM Adobe PageMaker 6.0J/PPC +3σ Parameters considered to be the most important to system performance are bounded by minimum or maximum values. For the MGA-71543, these parameters are: Vref test, NFtest, Gatest, IIP3 test, and ILtest. Each of the guaranteed parameters is 100% tested as part of the normal manufacturing and test process. Standard statistics tables or calculations provide the probability of a parameter falling between any two values, usually symmetrically located about the mean. Referring to Figure 15 for example, the probability of a parameter being between ±1σ is 68.3%; between ±2σ is 95.4%; and between ±3σ is 99.7%. Values for most of the parameters in the table of Electrical Specifications that are described by typical data are the mathematical mean (µ), of the normal distribution taken from the characterization data. For parameters where measurements or mathematical averaging may not be practical, such as S-parameters or Noise parameters and the performance curves, the data represents a nominal part taken from the center of the characterization distribution. Typical values are intended to be used as a basis for electrical design. Phase Reference Planes The positions of the reference plane used to specify S-parameters and Noise Parameters for the MGA-71543 are shown in Figure 16. As seen in the illustration, the reference planes are located at the point where the package leads contact the test circuit. To assist designers in optimizing not only the immediate amplifier circuit using the MGA-71543, but to also evaluate and optimize tradeoffs that affect a complete wireless system, the standard deviation (σ) is provided for many of the Electrical Specification parameters (at 25°C). The standard deviation is a measure of the variability about the mean. It will be recalled that a normal distribution is completely described by the mean and standard deviation. Reference Planes Electronic devices may be subjected to ESD damage in any of the following areas: Storage & handling Inspection Assembly & testing In-circuit use The MGA-71543 is an ESD Class 1 device. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended when handling, inspecting, testing, assembling, and using these devices to avoid damage. Any user-accessible points in wireless equipment (e.g., antenna or battery terminals) provide an opportunity for ESD damage. For circuit applications in which the MGA-71543 is used as an input or output stage with close coupling to an external antenna, the RFIC should be protected from high voltage spikes due to human contact with the antenna. Test Circuit Figure 16. Phase Reference Planes. Electrostatic Sensitivity RFICs are electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Although the MGA-71543 is robust in design, permanent damage may occur to these devices if they are subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Electrostatic charges as high as several thousand volts (which readily accumulate on the human body and on test equipment) can discharge without detection and may result in failure or degradation in performance and reliability. Figure 17. In-circuit ESD Protection. A best practice, illustrated in Figure17, is to place a shunt inductor (RFC) at the antenna connection to protect the receiver and transmitter circuits. It is often advantageous to integrate the RFIC into a diplexer or T/R switch control circuitry. 19 88759/06-PM60J-11 Page 19 2001.04.26, 10:45 AM Adobe PageMaker 6.0J/PPC Demonstration Board Source unstable Source stability circle Source stable G = 18.8 dB Load stability circle Load unstable region G = 17.8 dB Gain Circles G = 16.8 dB NF = 0.75 dB Load stable region G = 15.8 dB Noise Circles G = 14.8 dB NF = 0.95 dB NF = 1.15 dB NF = 1.35 dB NF = 1.55 dB Figure 18.
