NJG1126HB6
2.1GHz Band LNA GaAs MMIC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NJG1126HB6 is a LNA IC designed for 2.1GHz band W-CDMA
cellular phone . This IC has the function which bypasses LNA, and
high gain mode or low gain mode can be chosen.
High IIP3 and a low noise are achieved at the High gain mode.
And low current consumption can be achieved at the low gain mode
because LNA enters the state of the standby.
A small and thin package of USB8 is adopted.
FEATURES
Low voltage operation
Low CTL voltage operation
Low current consumption
High gain
Low noise figure
Pin at 1dB Gain Compression point
High input IP3

SYMBOL

DESCRIPTION
Supply voltage terminal for internal logic circuit (inverter). Please place a bypass
capacitor between this and GND for avoiding RF noise from outside.
Ground terminal.
RF signal comes out from this terminal, and goes through an external matching circuit
connected to this. Inductor L3 as shown in the application circuit is a part of an external
matching circuit, and also provide DC power to LNA. Capacitor C2 as shown in the
application circuit is a bypass capacitor.
Ground terminal.
RF input signal is input to this terminal through an external matching circuit connected to
this terminal. A DC blocking capacitor is not required.
Ground terminal.
Control port. A logic control signal is required to select High or Low gain mode of LNA.
This terminal is set to more than +1.5V of logical high level for High gain mode of LNA,
and set to 0~+0.3V of logical low level for Low gain mode.
Ground terminal.

CAUTION
1) Ground terminal (No.2, 4, 6, 8) should be connected to the ground plane as close as possible for
excellent RF performance, because distance to GND makes parasitic inductance.
