MAAL-010706 Low Noise Amplifier 1.4-4.0 GHz Features Rev. V3 Functional Block Diagram Low Noise Figure Excellent Input Return Loss Single Voltage Bias 3 V Integrated Active Bias Circuit Current Adjustable 20-80 mA with an External Resistor High Linearity, OIP3 > 34 dBm Small Package: 2 mm PDFN-8LD RoHS* Compliant and 260C Reflow Compatible Description The MAAL-010706 is a high dynamic range single stage MMIC LNA with excellent linearity and low noise figure designed for operation from 1.4 to 4.0 GHz. The LNA is packaged in an RoHS compliant leadless 2 mm 8-lead PDFN package. N/C 1 8 N/C RFOUT RFIN RF GND N/C BIAS FB VBIAS Pin Configuration Pin No. Pin Name Description This MMIC has an integrated active bias circuit allowing direct connection to +3 V voltage supply and minimizing variation over temperature and process. The bias current and gain can be set with external resistors to allow the user to customize the current and gain value to fit the application. 1 N/C No Connection 2 RFIN RF Input 3 RF GND RF Ground 4 VBIAS Bias Voltage The MAAL-010706 offers less than 0.7 dB noise figure, more than 34 dBm OIP3 and 20 dB input return loss. The excellent input match, low noise figure and high OIP3 along with the flexibility of setting current and gain make this LNA ideal for 3G and 4G cellular infrastructure applications. 5 FB Feedback 6 N/C No Connection 7 RFOUT RF Output 8 N/C No Connection For optimum performance below 1.4 GHz the MAAL -010705 is recommended. The MAAL-010706 and MAAL-010705 share the package type and footprint. Ordering Information 1,2 Part Number Package MAAL-010706-TR3000 tape and reel MAAL-010706-001SMB evaluation board 1.

They can be connected together to a single voltage supply during the measurement and in the final layout implementation of the PCB. If two different voltage supplies are used then apply VD first and then VBIAS to turn on the LNA. To turn off the LNA disconnect VBIAS first and then VD. R3 is varied to obtain different levels of gain. R4 is varied to change the drain current ID.
