Preliminary
GRF2373
Low-current LNA/Driver
0.1—3.8 GHz
Product Description
GRF2373 can serve as a low current, high gain LNA or
linear driver tunable over 100 to 3800 MHz. It exhibits
outstanding gain and NF with a typical bias condition of
3.3 volts and 15 mA. Iccq.
Features
Reference: 3.3V/15mA/1900 MHz

•
•
EVB NF: 1.3 dB
Gain: 18.5 dB
OP1dB: 13.5 dBm
OIP3: 25.0
The device is operated from a supply voltage (V
CC
) of 1.8
to 5.0 V with a selectable I
CCQ
range of 10 to 25 mA for
optimal efficiency and linearity.
Consult with the GRF applications engineering team for
custom tuning/evaluation board data and device s-
parameters.
