The attenuation of the device is controlled when in power down mode, providing a known gain step. The RF2371 is available in a small industry-standard SOT23-8 surface mount package, enabling compact designs which conserve board space. The design features a highly accurate PTAT (Proportional To Absolute Temperature) biasing scheme using bandgap cells. 1.59 1.61 0.365 0.15 0.05 4 GENERAL PURPOSE AMPLIFIERS 0.127 TEXT* 2.80 3.00 0.650 2.60 3.00 *When Pin 1 is in upper left, text reads downward (as shown). 3°MAX 0°MIN 1.44 1.04 0.35 0.55 Optimum Technology Matching® Applied Package Style: SOT23-8 üSi Bi-CMOS Si BJT GaAs HBT SiGe HBT GaAs MESFET Si CMOS Features • 700MHz to 2000MHz Operation • 2.7V to 3.6V Single Supply • +5dBm Input IP3 at 3.0mA • 12dB Gain at 1950MHz • 1.8dB Noise Figure at 1950MHz • 17dB Gain Step RF IN 1 8 7 6 Bias Circuits 5 RF OUT ISET VCC ENABLE GND1 2 GND2 3 IPSET 4 Ordering Information RF2371 RF2371 PCBA 3V Low Noise Amplifier Fully Assembled Evaluation Board Functional Block Diagram RF Micro Devices, Inc. 7625 Thorndike Road Greensboro, NC 27409, USA Tel (336) 664 1233 Fax (336) 664 0454 http://www.rfmd.com Rev A2 010205 4-221 RF2371 Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Supply Voltage Supply Current Operating Ambient Temperature Storage Temperature Preliminary Rating 4.0 20 -40 to +85 -40 to +150 Unit V mA °C °C Caution!

This pin is not internally DC blocked and requires an external blocking capacitor. Ground connection for the LNA. Keep traces physically short and connect immediately to ground plane for best performance. Ground connection for the bias circuits. This pin selects the internal current setting when CMOS level “low”, and the external current setting when this pin is CMOS level “high”. Power down control. This is a CMOS input. When this pin is CMOS “high” the device is enabled. When the level is CMOS “low” the device is shut off and a controlled attenuator is turned on. Power supply for the bias circuits. This pin sets the current for the device. RF output pin. Bias for the LNA is provided through this pin, hence it should be connected to VCC through an inductor. RF2371 Interface Schematic 4 GENERAL PURPOSE AMPLIFIERS Rev A2 010205 4-223 RF2371 Application Information Preliminary The RF2371 may be configured to use either the internal current setting or the external current setting. This choice is made by asserting IPSET, pin 4, to CMOS level “low” for the internal current setting or CMOS level “high” for the external current setting. Internal Current Setting When IPSET is set to CMOS “low”, the internal current settings are chosen. This current draw is typically 2.9mA. In this mode, the resistorR1 may be removed from the evaluation board schematic and ISET left floating. The condition for optimal IP3 is to use the internal current setting option and leave the ISET pin open (no connect). 4 GENERAL PURPOSE AMPLIFIERS External Current Setting The external current setting is configured by using the series resistor between ISET, pin7, and ground (refer to resistor R1 in evaluation board schematic). The value of the resistor may be changed to permit various operating currents up to a maximum allowable current of 20mA. The table below gives approximate minimum R1 values to allow the 20mA maximum current draw at various operating voltages. Note: When the internal current setting was selected, the part tested drew 4.4mA, which is higher than typical (2.9mA). Thus values of R1 given vary from part to part.
