MXD8015H
LNA for LTE mid-high band
General Description
MXD8015H high gain, low noise amplifier (LNA) is
dedicated to LTE middle band and high band
receive using advanced RFCMOS process. The
high linearity performance and low noise figure
makes the device an ideal choice for LTE
receiving Applications.
MXD8015H works under a 1.6V to 3.3V single
power supply while consumes 6 mA current in low
noise mode, in power down mode, the power
consumption will be reduced to less than 1uA.
MXD8015H uses a small 1.1mm
