Product profile
1.1 General description
The BGU7258 is a fully integrated MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for wireless receiver
applications in the 5 GHz to 6 GHz ISM band. Manufactured in NXPs high performance
SiGe:C technology, the BGU7258 couples best-in-class gain, noise figure, linearity
and efficiency with the process stability and ruggedness that are the hallmarks of SiGe
technology. The BGU7258 features a robust temperature-compensated internal bias
network and an integral bypass / shutdown feature that stabilizes the DC operating
point over temperature and enables operation in the presence of high input signals,
while minimizing current consumption in bypass (standby) mode. The 1.6 mm x 1.6
mm footprint coupled with only two external components, makes the circuit board
implementation of the BGU7258 LNA the smallest IEEE 802.11ac LNA with bypass
solution on the market, ideal for space sensitive applications.
1.2 Features and benefits
• Fully integrated, high performance LNA with built-in bypass
• Integrated DC blocking at RF input and RF output, with only two external components
needed.
• Low 1.6 dB noise figure with 13 mA current consumption
• Low bypass current of 1 µA (typical)
• Single supply 3.0 V to 3.6 V operation
• Integrated concurrent 2.4 GHz notch filter and temperature stabilized bias network
• High IP3i and low EVM
• High ESD protection of 2 kV (HBM) on all pins
• Small, 0.5 mm pitch, 1.6 x 1.6 x 0.5 mm QFN-style package, MSL 1 at 260 °C
• Compliant to Directive 2002/95/EC, regarding Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) following NXPs RHF-2006 indicator D (dark green)

Stressed with pulses of 200 ms in duration in an application circuit as depicted in Figure 34.
Warning: due to internal ESD diode protection, the applied DC voltage should not exceed VCC + 0.6 V and should not exceed 5.0 V in order to avoid
excess current.
The RF input and RF output are AC-coupled through an internal DC blocking capacitor.

Figure 34. Evaluation board schematic
Note that in Figure 34 the schematic for the BGU7258 evaluation board is shown using
only two external components. A DC-decoupling capacitor placed close to VCC (pin 6)
and a matching shunt capacitor at RF_IN.
The BGU7258 can also be used without the matching capacitor at RF_IN. However, in
this case the gain will be 0.5 dB lower, the noise figure 0.1 dB higher and the input return
loss less than 10 dB (approximately 8 dB) over the whole 5 GHz ISM band (5 GHz to 6
GHz).

intended for quick reference only and should not be relied upon to contain
detailed and full information. For detailed and full information see the
relevant full data sheet, which is available on request via the local NXP
Semiconductors sales office. In case of any inconsistency or conflict with the
short data sheet, the full data sheet shall prevail.
Product specification — The information and data provided in a Product
data sheet shall define the specification of the product as agreed between
NXP Semiconductors and its customer, unless NXP Semiconductors and
customer have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. In no event however,
shall an agreement be valid in which the NXP Semiconductors product

Product data sheet
Suitability for use — NXP Semiconductors products are not designed,
authorized or warranted to be suitable for use in life support, life-critical or
safety-critical systems or equipment, nor in applications where failure or
malfunction of an NXP Semiconductors product can reasonably be expected
to result in personal injury, death or severe property or environmental
damage. NXP Semiconductors and its suppliers accept no liability for
inclusion and/or use of NXP Semiconductors products in such equipment or
applications and therefore such inclusion and/or use is at the customer’s own
risk.
Applications — Applications that are described herein for any of these
products are for illustrative purposes only. NXP Semiconductors makes
no representation or warranty that such applications will be suitable
for the specified use without further testing or modification. Customers
are responsible for the design and operation of their applications and
products using NXP Semiconductors products, and NXP Semiconductors
accepts no liability for any assistance with applications or customer product
design. It is customer’s sole responsibility to determine whether the NXP
Semiconductors product is suitable and fit for the customer’s applications
and products planned, as well as for the planned application and use of
customer’s third party customer(s). Customers should provide appropriate
design and operating safeguards to minimize the risks associated with
their applications and products. NXP Semiconductors does not accept any
liability related to any default, damage, costs or problem which is based
on any weakness or default in the customer’s applications or products, or
the application or use by customer’s third party customer(s). Customer is
responsible for doing all necessary testing for the customer’s applications
and products using NXP Semiconductors products in order to avoid a
default of the applications and the products or of the application or use by
customer’s third party customer(s). NXP does not accept any liability in this
respect.
Limiting values — Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent
damage to the device. Limiting values are stress ratings only and (proper)
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those
given in the Recommended operating conditions section (if present) or the
Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or
repeated exposure to limiting values will permanently and irreversibly affect
the quality and reliability of the device.
Terms and conditions of commercial sale — NXP Semiconductors
products are sold subject to the general terms and conditions of commercial
sale, as published at http://www.nxp.com/profile/terms, unless otherwise
agreed in a valid written individual agreement. In case an individual
agreement is concluded only the terms and conditions of the respective
agreement shall apply. NXP Semiconductors hereby expressly objects to
applying the customer’s general terms and conditions with regard to the
purchase of NXP Semiconductors products by customer.
No offer to sell or license — Nothing in this document may be interpreted
or construed as an offer to sell products that is open for acceptance or
the grant, conveyance or implication of any license under any copyrights,
