BGU7008
SiGe:C Low Noise Amplifier MMIC for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo
and Compass
Rev. 4 — 18 January 2017
Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BGU7008 is, also known as the GPS1104M, an AEC-Q100 qualified Low Noise
Amplifier (LNA) for GNSS receiver applications in a plastic leadless 6-pin, extremely small
SOT886 package. The BGU7008 requires only one external matching inductor and one
external decoupling capacitor.
The BGU7008 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 18.5 dB gain at a noise
figure of 0.85 dB. During high jamming power levels, resulting for example from a cellular
transmit burst, it temporarily increases its bias current to improve sensitivity.
1.2 Features and benefits

Due to internal ESD diode protection, the applied voltage should not exceed the specified maximum in
order to avoid excess current.
The RF input and RF output are AC coupled through internal DC blocking capacitors.
