MGA-645T6
Low Noise Amplifier with Bypass/Shutdown Mode
in Low Profile Package
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies MGA-645T6 is an economical,
easy-to-use GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with
Bypass/ Shutdown mode. The LNA has low noise and
high linearity achieved through the use of Avago Tech-
nologies’ proprietary 0.5um GaAs Enhancement-mode
pHEMT process. The Bypass/Shutdown mode enables
the LNA to be bypassed during high input signal power
and reduce current consumption. It is housed in a low
profile 2 x 1.3 x 0.4mm 6-pin Ultra Thin Package. The
compact footprint and low profile coupled with low
noise, high linearity make the MGA-645T6 an ideal choice
as a low noise amplifier for mobile receiver in the WiMax,
WLAN(802.11b/g), WiBro and DMB applications.

*Application Notes: -
1. Performance in a specified frequency band can be
optimized by changing component values in the
demoboard above to suit the application at that
frequency. The schematic on page 4 and 7 show
two sets of components used to demonstrate
performance at the (2.3 - 2.4) GHz Wibro band and
(2.5 - 2.7) GHz Wimax/DMB band.
2. Operational Logic of Bypass/Shutdown pin (Pin 1)
- Normal LNA operation : [1.2 to (Vdd-0.3)] Volt,
- Bypass/Shutdown mode : 0 Volt or Open
Pin 1 voltage in LNA mode can be varied to enable
the LNA bias current to be adjusted, refer to next
