Document Number: MMG20271H Rev. 0, 12/2010
Enhancement Mode pHEMT Technology (E-pHEMT)
High Linearity Amplifier
The MMG20271H is a high dynamic range, low noise amplifier MMIC, housed in a QFN 3x3 standard plastic package. It is ideal for Cellular, PCS, LTE, TD--SCDMA, W--CDMA base station, wireless LAN and other systems in the 1500 to 2700 MHz frequency range. With high OIP3 and low noise figure, it can be utilized as a driver amplifier in the transmit chain and as a second stage LNA in the receive chain. Features • Frequency: 1500--2700 MHz • Noise Figure: 1.7 dB @ 2140 MHz • P1dB: 27.5 dBm @ 2140 MHz • Small--Signal Gain: 16 dB @ 2140 MHz • Third Order Output Intercept Point: 42 dBm @ 2140 MHz • Single 5 Volt Supply • Supply Current: 180 mA • 50 Ohm Operation (some external matching required) • Low Cost QFN Surface Mount Package • RoHS Compliant • In Tape and Reel. T1 Suffix = 1000 Units, 12 mm Tape Width, 7 inch Reel.

Pin Number 3
Description RF input for the power amplifier. RFin has an RF choke to ground internal to the package. No external blocking is necessary unless externally applied DC is present on the trace. RF output for the power amplifier. This pin is DC coupled and requires a DC blocking capacitor. Bias voltage and current adjust pin. The center metal base of the QFN package provides both DC and RF ground as well as the heat sink contact for the IC. VBA N.C. N.C. 12 N.C. N.C. RFin 1 2 3 4 5 6 N.C. N.C. N.C.
