MGA-633P8
Ultra Low Noise, High Linearity Active Bias Low Noise Amplier
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies MGA-633P8 is an economical, easy-
to-use GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplier (LNA). The LNA has
low noise and high linearity achieved through the use of
Avago Technologies proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhance-
ment-mode pHEMT process. It is housed in a miniature
2.0 x 2.0 x 0.75mm
3
8-pin Quad-Flat-Non-Lead (QFN)
package. It is designed for optimum use from 450MHz up
to 2GHz. The compact footprint and low prole coupled
with low noise, high gain and high linearity make the
MGA-633P8 an ideal choice as a low noise amplier for
cellular infrastructure for GSM and CDMA. For optimum
performance at higher frequency from 1.5GHz to 2.3GHz,
the MGA-634P8 is recommended, and from 2.3GHz to
4GHz, the MGA-635P8 is recommended. Both MGA-634P8
and MGA-635P8 share the same package and pinout as
MGA-633P8

Notes:
The schematic is shown with the assumption that similar PCB is used
for all MGA-633P8, MGA-634P8 and MGA-635P8.
Detail of the components needed for this product is shown in Table 1.
Enhancement mode technology employs positive gate voltage,
thereby eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated
with conventional depletion mode devices.
Good RF practice requires all unused pins to be earthed.
