BGA824N6
Silicon Germanium Low Noise Amplifier for Global Navigation Satellite Systems
Features
Description
The BGA824N6 is a front-end low noise amplifier for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) from 1164 MHz
to 1615 MHz like GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo and others. The LNA provides 17.0 dB gain and 0.55 dB noise
figure at a current consumption of 3.8 mA in the application configuration described in Chapter 4. The BGA824N6
is based upon Infineon Technologies‘ B7HF Silicon Germanium technology. It operates from 1.5 V to 3.6 V supply
voltage.

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.
