The MC13770 is a single band front-end IC designed for
wireless receiver applications. It contains a low noise
LNA and a high linearity mixer. The LNA is integrated
with a bypass switch to preserve input intercept
performance. The device is fabricated using Freescale's
Advanced RF BiCMOS process using the SiGe:C option
and is packaged in a 12 pin Quad Flat Non-leaded
package.
