Description
The BGA729N6 is a broadband low power low noise amplifier (LNA) MMIC for portable and mobile TV applications
which covers a wide frequency range from 70 MHz to 1000 MHz. The LNA provides 16.3 dB gain and 1.05 dB
noise figure at a current consumption of 6.3 mA in the application configuration described in Chapter 3. In bypass
mode the LNA provides an insertion loss of 4.2 dB. The bypass mode with much higher linearity enables this LNA
to work with much lower current consumption than commonly used TV LNAs. The BGA729N6 is based upon
Infineon Technologies‘ B7HF Silicon Germanium technology. It operates from 1.5 V to 3.3 V supply voltage.

Attention: Stresses above the max. values listed here may cause permanent damage to the device.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability. Maximum ratings are absolute ratings; exceeding only one of these values may
cause irreversible damage to the integrated circuit.

1) DC block might be necessary due to internal LNA bias voltage @ AI (LNA Analog Input pin). The DC block can be realized
with pre-filter (e.g. SAW)
2) RF bypass recommended to mitigate power supply noise
Note: No external DC blocking capacitor at RFout is required in typical applications as long as no DC is applied.
