MGA-684P8
Low Noise Active Bias Low Noise Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Features
Avago Technologies’ MGA-684P8 is an economical, easy- Low noise Figure
to-use GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA). The LNA
has low noise and high linearity achieved through the
use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25 m GaAs
Enhancement-mode pHEMT process. It is housed in a
High linearity performance
GaAs E-pHEMT Technology
Low cost small package size: 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.75 mm
Excellent uniformity in product specifications
Tape-and-Reel packaging option available

miniature 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.75 mm 8-pin Quad-Flat-Non-Lead
(QFN) package. It is designed for optimum use from 1.5
GHz up to 4 GHz. The compact footprint and low profile
coupled with low noise, high gain and high linearity make
the MGA-684P8 an ideal choice as a low noise amplifier for
cellular infrastructure for GSM and CDMA. For optimum
performance at lower frequency from 450 MHz up to 1.5
GHz, MGA-683P8 is recommended. Both MGA-683P8 and
MGA-684P8 share the same package and pinout configu-
ration.

Refer to Avago Application Note A004R:
Electrostatic Discharge, Damage and Control.
Note:
The schematic is shown with the assumption that similar PCB is used
for both MGA-683P8 and MGA-684P8.
Detail of the components needed for this product is shown in Table 1.
Enhancement mode technology employs positive gate voltage,
thereby eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated
with conventional depletion mode devices.
Good RF practice requires all unused pins to be earthed.
