GRF2105
Enhanced Gain Flatness LNA
0.4 to 5.0 GHz
Product Description
GRF2105 is a broadband, ultra-low noise linear amplifier
designed for small cell, wireless infrastructure and other
high performance RF applications. The standard tune
exhibits outstanding NF and linearity, return losses and
enhanced gain flatness over 0.4 to 3.8 GHz.
Features
Reference: 5V/70mA/2.5 GHz
•
•
Gain: 20.5 dB
Eval Board NF: 0.77 dB
Refer to the GRF2105 website landing page for a grow-
ing selection of application notes addressing specific
application requirements such as improved return loss,
operation to 5.0 GHz, etc.
Configured as a first stage LNA, linear driver or cascaded
gain block, GRF2105 offers high levels of reuse both
within a design and across platforms. The device is oper-
ated from a supply voltage (Vdd) range of 2.7 to 6.0 V
with a typical bias condition of 5 volts and 70 mA for op-
timal efficiency and linearity.
The device is housed in a 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.5 mm 6-pin plas-
tic DFN package. Consult with the GRF applications engi-
neering team for custom tuning/evaluation board data
and device s-parameters.
