MGA-635T6
GPS Low Noise Amplifier with Variable Bias
Current and Shutdown Function
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies’ MGA-635T6 is a LNA designed
for GPS/ISM/Wimax applications in the (0.9-2.4)GHz
frequency range. The LNA uses Avago Technologies’s
proprietary GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process to
achieve high gain operation with very low noise figures
and high linearity. Noise figure distribution is very tightly
controlled. Gain and supply current are guaranteed pa-
rameters. A CMOS compatible shutdown pin is included
to turn the LNA off and provide a variable bias.
The MGA-635T6 LNA is useable down to 1V operation.
It achieves low noise figures and high gain even at 1V,
making it suitable for use in critical low power GPS/ISM
band applications.

Notes
1. L1 and L2 form the input matching network. The LNA module has a built-in coupling and DC-block capacitor at the input and output. Best noise
performance is obtained using high-Q wirewound inductors. This circuit demonstrates that low noise figures are obtainable with standard 0402
chip inductors. Replacing L1, L2 and L3 with high-Q wirewound inductors (eg. Cilcraft 0402CS series) will yield 0.1dB lower NF and 0.2dB higher
Gain.
2. L3 is an output matching inductor.
3. C1 is a RF bypass capacitor.
4. PRL1 is a network that isolates the measurement demoboard from external disturbances. C2 and C3 mitigates the effect of external noise pickup
on the VSD and VDD lines. These components are not required in actual operation.
5. Bias control is achieved by either varying the VSD voltage without R1 or fixing the VSD voltage to VDD and varying R1. Typical value for R1 is
22k Ohm for 5mA total current at VDD=+2.85V.
