PGA-103+

Ultra Linear Low Noise Monolithic Amplifier 50Ω PGA-103+ 0.05 to 4 GHz The Big Deal • Ultra High IP3 • Broadband High Dynamic Range • May be used as a replacement for RFMD SPF-5189Za,b SOT-89 PACKAGE Product Overview PGA-103+ (RoHS compliant) is an advanced wideband amplifier fabricated using E-PHEMT technology and offers extremely high dynamic range over a broad frequency range and with low noise figure. In addition, the PGA-103+ has good input and output return loss over a broad frequency range without the need for external matching components and has demonstrated excellent reliability. It has repeatable performance from lot to lot and is enclosed in a SOT-89 package for very good thermal performance. Key Features Feature Broad Band: 0.05 to 4.0 GHz Ultra High IP3 Versus DC power Consumption: 45 dBm typical at 2 GHz at +5.0V Supply Voltage and only 97mA Low Noise Figure: 0.6 dB up to 1.0 GHz Advantages Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands: Cellular, PCS, LTE, WiMAX The PGA-103+ provides excellent IP3 performance relative to device size and power consumption. The combination of the design and E-PHEMT Structure provides enhanced linearity over a broad frequency range as evidence in the IP3 being typically 20 dB above the P 1dB point. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in: • Driver amplifiers for complex waveform up converter paths • Drivers in linearized transmit systems • Secondary amplifiers in ultra High Dynamic range receivers A unique feature of the PGA-103+ which separates this design from all competitors is the low noise figure performance in combination with the high dynamic range.

This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation. RF-OUT and DC-IN 3 RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in “Recommended Application Circuit”, Fig. 2 GND 2,4 Description Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB Design” to reduce ground path inductance for best performance. Notes: a.
