Datasheet: Ultra Low Noise, High Linearity Active Bias Low Noise Amplifier: MGA-633P8

The Ultra Low Noise, High Linearity Active Bias Low Noise Amplifier: MGA-633P8 is the latest addition to the Avago Technologies family of ultra low noise, high gain, high linearity Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Active Bias Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA). The device provides Best In Class NF (0.38dB @ 900MHz) performance and is designed to be used as first stage LNA within cellular base station transceiver radio cards, tower mounted amplifiers (TMA), combiners, repeaters and remote/digital radio heads.

Details:
The MGA-633P8 is an Active Bias LNA which operates from 450MHz to 1500MHz. Additional products will be released later in the year that support frequencies within all major cellular bands: GSM, CDMA, UMTS and the next generation LTE (700MHz band in North America and 2.5GHz band in Europe and Asia). Since all of the devices will share a common footprint, pin-out, and external matching network, they provide a common PCB design to customers when used at different frequencies and therefore simplifying the PCB layout.

MGA-633P8 is housed in a miniature 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.85 mm surface mount 8-lead QFN package.
