LMH9126
SNLS634 –JUNE 2020
LMH9126 2.3–2.9-GHz Differential to Single-Ended Amplifier With Integrated Balun
1 Features
3 Description
The LMH9126 is high-performance, single-channel,
differential input to single-ended output transmit RF
gain block amplifier supporting 2.6-GHz center
frequency band. The device is well suited to support
requirements for the next generation 5G AAS or small
cell applications while driving the input of a power
amplifier (PA). The RF amplifier provides 18-dB
typical gain with good linearity performance of 35-
dBm output IP3, while maintaining less than 4-dB
noise figure across the whole 1-dB bandwidth. The
device is internally matched for 100-Ω differential
input impedance providing easy interface with an RF-
sampling or Zero-IF analog front-end (AFE) at the
input. Also, the device is internally matched for 50-Ω
single-ended output impedance required for easy
interface with a post-amplifier, SAW filter, or PA.

Operating on a single 3.3-V supply, the device
consumes only 375 mW of active power making it
suitable for high-density 5G massive MIMO
applications. Also, the device is available in a space
saving 2-mm × 2-mm, 12-pin QFN package. The
device is rated for an operating temperature of up to
105°C to provide a robust system design. There is a
1.8-V JEDEC compliant power down pin available for
fast power down and power up of the device suitable
for time division duplex (TDD) systems.
