INTEGRATED CIRCUITS NE/SA5204A Wide-band high-frequency amplifier Product specification RF Communications Handbook Philips Semiconductors 1992 Feb 25 Philips Semiconductors Product specification Wide-band high-frequency amplifier NE/SA5204A DESCRIPTION PIN CONFIGURATION The NE/SA5204A family of wideband amplifiers replaces the NE/SA5204 family. The ‘A’ parts are fabricated on a rugged 2µm bipolar process featuring excellent statistical process control. Electrical performance is nomically identical to the original parts. N, D Packages The NE/SA5204A is a high-frequency amplifier with a fixed insertion gain of 20dB. The gain is flat to ±0.5dB from DC to 200MHz. The -3dB bandwidth is greater than 350MHz. This performance makes the amplifier ideal for cable TV applications. The NE/SA5204A operates with a single supply of 6V, and only draws 25mA of supply current, which is much less than comparable hybrid parts. The noise figure is 4.8dB in a 75Ω system and 6dB in a 50Ω system. VCC 1 8 VCC VIN 2 7 VOUT GND 3 6 GND GND 4 5 GND 20dB TOP VIEW SR00193 Figure 1. Pin Configuration The NE/SA5204A is a relaxed version of the NE5205. Minimum guaranteed bandwidth is relaxed to 350MHz and the “S” parameter Min/Max limits are specified as typicals only. FEATURES • Bandwidth (min.) Until now, most RF or high-frequency designers had to settle for discrete or hybrid solutions to their amplification problems. Most of these solutions required trade-offs that the designer had to accept in order to use high-frequency gain stages. These include high power consumption, large component count, transformers, large packages with heat sinks, and high part cost. The NE/SA5204A solves these problems by incorporating a wideband amplifier on a single monolithic chip. 200 MHz, ±0.5dB 350 MHz, -3dB • 20dB insertion gain • 4.8dB (6dB) noise figure ZO=75Ω (ZO=50Ω) • No external components required • Input and output impedances matched to 50/75Ω systems • Surface-mount package available • Cascadable • 2000V ESD protection The part is well matched to 50 or 75Ω input and output impedances. The standing wave ratios in 50 and 75Ω systems do not exceed 1.5 on either the input or output over the entire DC to 350MHz operating range. Since the part is a small, monolithic IC die, problems such as stray capacitance are minimized. The die size is small enough to fit into a very cost-effective 8-pin small-outline (SO) package to further reduce parasitic effects. APPLICATIONS • Antenna amplifiers • Amplified splitters • Signal generators • Frequency counters • Oscilloscopes • Signal analyzers • Broadband LANs • Networks • Modems • Mobile radio • Security systems • Telecommunications No external components are needed other than AC-coupling capacitors because the NE/SA5204A is internally compensated and matched to 50 and 75Ω. The amplifier has very good distortion specifications, with second and third-order intermodulation intercepts of +24dBm and +17dBm, respectively, at 100MHz. The part is well matched for 50Ω test equipment such as signal generators, oscilloscopes, frequency counters, and all kinds of signal analyzers. Other applications at 50Ω include mobile radio, CB radio, and data/video transmission in fiber optics, as well as broadband LANs and telecom systems. A gain greater than 20dB can be achieved by cascading additional NE/SA5204As in series as required, without any degradation in amplifier stability.

Insertion Gain vs Frequency (S21) 6 Philips Semiconductors Product specification Wide-band high-frequency amplifier NE/SA5204A eliminates problems of shunt-feedback loading on the output. The value of RF1=140Ω is chosen to give the desired nominal gain. The DC output voltage VOUT can be determined by: THEORY OF OPERATION The design is based on the use of multiple feedback loops to provide wide-band gain together with good noise figure and terminal impedance matches. Referring to the circuit schematic in Figure 17, the gain is set primarily by the equation: VOUT=VCC–(IC2+IC6)R2,(4) where VCC=6V, R2=225Ω, IC2=8mA and IC6=5mA. V OUT V IN (R F1 R E1) R E1 From here, it can be seen that the output voltage is approximately 3.1V to give relatively equal positive and negative output swings. Diode Q5 is included for bias purposes to allow direct coupling of RF2 to the base of Q1. The dual feedback loops stabilize the DC operating point of the amplifier. (1) which is series-shunt feedback. There is also shunt-series feedback due to RF2 and RE2 which aids in producing wide-band terminal impedances without the need for low value input shunting resistors that would degrade the noise figure. For optimum noise performance, RE1 and the base resistance of Q1 are kept as low as possible, while RF2 is maximized. The output stage is a Darlington pair (Q6 and Q2) which increases the DC bias voltage on the input stage (Q1) to a more desirable value, and also increases the feedback loop gain. Resistor R0 optimizes the output VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio). Inductors L1 and L2 are bondwire and lead inductances which are roughly 3nH. These improve the high-frequency impedance matches at input and output by partially resonating with 0.5pF of pad and package capacitance. The noise figure is given by the following equation: r NF 10Log 1 b R E1 KT 2ql C1 RO dB (2) POWER DISSIPATION CONSIDERATIONS When using the part at elevated temperature, the engineer should consider the power dissipation capabilities of each package. where IC1=5.5mA, RE1=12Ω, rb=130Ω, KT/q=26mV at 25°C and R0=50 for a 50Ω system and 75 for a 75Ω system. At the nominal supply voltage of 6V, the typical supply current is 25mA (32mA max). For operation at supply voltages other than 6V, see Figure 3 for ICC versus VCC curves. The supply current is inversely proportional to temperature and varies no more than 1mA between 25°C and either temperature extreme. The change is 0.1% per °C over the range. The DC input voltage level VIN can be determined by the equation: VIN=VBE1+(IC1+IC3) RE1(3) where RE1=12Ω, VBE=0.8V, IC1=5mA and IC3=7mA (currents rated at VCC=6V). Under the above conditions, VIN is approximately equal to 1V. The recommended operating temperature ranges are air-mount specifications. Better heat-sinking benefits can be realized by mounting the SO and N package bodies against the PC board plane. Level shifting is achieved by emitter-follower Q3 and diode Q4, which provide shunt feedback to the emitter of Q1 via RF1. The use of an emitter-follower buffer in this feedback loop essentially VCC R2 225 R1 650 R0 L2 10 3nH Q3 VOUT Q6 VIN Q2 L1 Q4 Q1 R3 140 3nH RF1 140 RE2 12 RE1 12 Q5 RF2 200 SR00209 Figure 17. Schematic Diagram 1992 Feb 25 7 Philips Semiconductors Product specification Wide-band high-frequency amplifier NE/SA5204A PC BOARD MOUNTING In order to realize satisfactory mounting of the NE5204A to a PC board, certain techniques need to be utilized. The board must be double-sided with copper and all pins must be soldered to their respective areas (i.e., all GND and VCC pins on the package). The power supply should be decoupled with a capacitor as close to the VCC pins as possible, and an RF choke should be inserted between the supply and the device. Caution should be exercised in the connection of input and output pins. Standard microstrip should be observed wherever possible. There should be no solder bumps or burrs or any obstructions in the signal path to cause launching problems. The path should be as straight as possible and lead lengths as short as possible from the part to the cable connection. Another important consideration is that the input and output should be AC-coupled. This is because at VCC=6V, the input is approximately at 1V while the output is at 3.1V. The output must be decoupled into a low-impedance system, or the DC bias on the output of the amplifier will be loaded down, causing loss of output power. The easiest way to decouple the entire amplifier is by soldering a high-frequency chip capacitor directly to the input and output pins of the device. This circuit is shown in Figure 18. Follow these recommendations to get the best frequency response and noise immunity. The board design is as important as the integrated circuit design itself. Actual S-parameter measurements using an HP network analyzer (model 8505A) and an HP S-parameter tester (models 8503A/B) are shown in Figure 20. Values for the figures below are measured and specified in the data sheet to ease adaptation and comparison of the NE/SA/SE5204A to other high-frequency amplifiers. The most important parameter is S21. It is defined as the square root of the power gain, and, in decibels, is equal to voltage gain as shown below: ZD=ZIN=ZOUT for the NE/SA/SE5204A NE5204A 2 P IN V IN ZD P OUT P IN P OUT V OUT ZD V OUT ZD 2 V IN ZD 2 ZD 2 V OUT V IN 2 2 PI PI=VI 2 PI=Insertion Power Gain SCATTERING PARAMETERS VI=Insertion Voltage Gain The primary specifications for the NE5204A are listed as S-parameters. S-parameters are measurements of incident and reflected currents and voltages between the source, amplifier, and load as well as transmission losses.

The decrease is due to nonlinearities in the amplifier, an indication of the point of transition between small-signal operation and the large signal mode. The saturated output power is a measure of the amplifier’s ability to deliver power into an external load. It is the value of the amplifier’s output power when the input is heavily overdriven. This includes the sum of the power in all harmonics. INPUT VSWR=≤1.5 OUTPUT VSWR=≤1.5 INTERMODULATION INTERCEPT TESTS The intermodulation intercept is an expression of the low level linearity of the amplifier. The intermodulation ratio is the difference in dB between the fundamental output signal level and the generated distortion product level. The relationship between intercept and 1DB GAIN COMPRESSION AND SATURATED OUTPUT POWER The 1dB gain compression is a measurement of the output power level where the small-signal insertion gain magnitude decreases 1992 Feb 25 10 Philips Semiconductors Product specification Wide-band high-frequency amplifier NE/SA5204A intermodulation ratio is illustrated in Figure 22, which shows product output levels plotted versus the level of the fundamental output for two equal strength output signals at different frequencies. The upper line shows the fundamental output plotted against itself with a 1dB to 1dB slope. The second and third order products lie below the fundamentals and exhibit a 2:1 and 3:1 slope, respectively. second and third order intermodulation ratios in dB. The intermodulation intercept is an indicator of intermodulation performance only in the small signal operating range of the amplifier. Above some output level which is below the 1dB compression point, the active device moves into large-signal operation. At this point the intermodulation products no longer follow the straight line output slopes, and the intercept description is no longer valid. It is therefore important to measure IP2 and IP3 at output levels well below 1dB compression. One must be careful, however, not to select too low levels because the test equipment may not be able to recover the signal from the noise. For the NE/SA5204A we have chosen an output level of –10.5dBm with fundamental frequencies of 100.000 and 100.01MHz, respectively. The intercept point for either product is the intersection of the extensions of the product curve with the fundamental output. The intercept point is determined by measuring the intermodulation ratio at a single output level and projecting along the appropriate product slope to the point of intersection with the fundamental. When the intercept point is known, the intermodulation ratio can be determined by the reverse process. The second order IMR is equal to the difference between the second order intercept and the fundamental output level. The third order IMR is equal to twice the difference between the third order intercept and the fundamental output level. These are expressed as: ADDITIONAL READING ON SCATTERING PARAMETERS For more information regarding S-parameters, please refer to High-Frequency Amplifiers by Ralph S.
