Low Noise Amplifier MBC13720 First SiGe:C Standard Product Overview Freescale Semiconductor’s MBC13720 low noise amplifier (LNA) with an on-chip bypass switch is Freescale's first SiGe:C Features > Uses SiGe:C module of advanced RF BiCMOS process for superior performance in a cost-effective monolithic device standard product. This device uses the > Integrated bypass switch SiGe:C module of Freescale's advanced > Low noise figure 0.35 micron RF BiCMOS process. The on-chip bypass switch improves the > High input IP3 dynamic range of the receiver with low > Receive/enable pins insertion loss. In addition to providing > Selectable IP3 modes improved performance, the bypass switch > Simplified off-chip matching helps conserve board space and reduce system and manufacturing costs. The device also provides selectable IP3 > Packaged in ultra-small SOT-363 surface mount package settings and a standby mode to turn the > Usable frequency range of 400 MHz to 2400 MHz device completely off. Input and output > Low standby current Supply voltage from 2.5V to 3.0V The MBC13720 SiGe:C low noise amplifier modes, low noise figure, selectable gain maximum design flexibility. with bypass switch can operate over a > Lead-free frequency range of 400 MHz to 2400 MHz.
