BGA7L1BN6
Features
Description
The BGA7L1BN6 is a front-end low noise amplifier for LTE which covers a wide frequency range from 716 MHz
to 960 MHz. The LNA provides 13.6 dB gain and 0.75 dB noise figure at a current consumption of 4.9 mA in the
application configuration described in Chapter 3. In bypass mode the LNA provides an insertion loss of -2.2dB.
The BGA7L1BN6 is based upon Infineon Technologies‘ B7HF Silicon Germanium technology. It operates from
1.5 V to 3.6 V supply voltage. The device features a single-line two-state control (Bypass- and High gain-Mode).
OFF-state can be enabled by powering down Vcc.

Attention: Stresses above the max. values listed here may cause permanent damage to the device.
Maximum ratings are absolute ratings; exceeding only one of these values may cause
irreversible damage to the integrated circuit. Exposure to conditions at or below absolute
maximum rating but above the specified maximum operation conditions may affect device
reliability and life time. Functionality of the device might not be given under these conditions.

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.
