Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BGU8007 is a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for GNSS receiver applications in a plastic
leadless 6-pin, extremely small SOT886 package. The BGU8007 requires only one
external matching inductor and one external decoupling capacitor.
The BGU8007 adapts itself to the changing environment resulting from co-habitation of
different radio systems in modern cellular handsets. It has been designed for low power
consumption and optimal performance when jamming signals from co-existing cellular
transmitters are present. At low jamming power levels it delivers 19 dB gain at a noise
figure of 0.75 dB. During high jamming power levels, resulting for example from a cellular
transmit burst, it temporarily increases its bias current to improve sensitivity.
CAUTION
This device is sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Therefore care should be taken
during transport and handling.
1.2 Features and benefits
