Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BGU7003 MMIC is a wideband amplifier in SiGe:C technology for high speed,
low-noise applications in a plastic, leadless 6 pin, extremely thin small outline SOT891
package.
CAUTION
This device is sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Therefore care should be taken
during transport and handling.
1.2 Features
Low noise high gain microwave MMIC
Applicable between 40 MHz and 6 GHz
Integrated temperature stabilized bias for easy design
Bias current configurable with external resistor
Noise figure NF = 0.80 dB at 1.575 GHz
Insertion power gain = 18.3 dB at 1.575 GHz
110 GHz transit frequency - SiGe:C technology
Power-down mode current consumption < 1
μA
Optimized performance at low 5 mA supply current
ESD protection > 1 kV Human Body Model (HBM) on all pins
1.3 Applications
GPS
Satellite radio
Low-noise amplifiers for microwave communications systems
WLAN and CDMA applications
Analog / digital cordless applications
