Description
The SKY67154-396LF is GaAs, pHEMT low-noise amplifier (LNA)
with an active bias, high linearity, superior gain, and
industry-leading noise figure (NF) performance from 700 to
3800 MHz. The device features Skyworks advanced, pHEMT
enhancement mode process in a compact 2 x 2 mm, 8-pin Dual
Flat No-Lead (DFN) package.
The internal active bias circuitry provides stable performance over
temperature and process variation. The device offers the ability to
externally adjust supply current. Supply voltage is applied to the
RFOUT/VDD pin through an RF choke inductor. The RFIN and
RFOUT/VDD pins should be DC blocked to ensure proper
operation.
The SKY67154-396LF operates in the frequency range of 0.7 to
3.8 GHz using a common layout and band-specific tunes.
A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin
configuration and package are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin
assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in
Table 1.

1 Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other parameters
set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
ESD HANDLING: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage this device.
This device must be protected at all times from ESD when handling or transporting. Static charges may easily produce
potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection.
Industry-standard ESD handling precautions should be used at all times.
