BGA6130
400 MHz to 2700 MHz 1 W high efficiency silicon amplifier
Rev. 2 — 12 February 2014
Product data sheet
1. General description
The MMIC is a one-stage amplifier, offered in a low-cost leadless surface-mount
package. At 3.6 V it delivers 29.5 dBm output power at 3 dB gain compression with
efficiency higher than 55 %. Its power saving features include simple quiescent current
adjustment, which allows class-AB operation and logic-level shutdown control to reduce
the supply current to 4
A.
2. Features and benefits
400 MHz to 2700 MHz frequency operating range
Integrated active biasing
External matching allows broad application optimization of the electrical performance
Efficiencies higher than 55 %
3.6 V single supply operation
Power-down
Excellent robustness:
All pins ESD protected (HBM 6 kV; CDM 2 kV)
Withstands mismatch of VSWR 50 : 1 through all phases
Withstands electrical over-stress peaks of 4.5 V on the supply voltage
3. Applications
In this data sheet two Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) applications are described,
namely ISM at 434 MHz and ISM at 915 MHz. The BGA6130 is also suited for a range of
other applications:
Broadband CPE / MoCA

The exposed die pad of the SOT908-3 also functions as heatsink for the power amplifier.
9. Functional description
9.1 Supply current adjustment
The supply current can be adjusted by changing the value of biasing resistor R3 which
connects pin ICQ_ADJ (pin 8) to ground (see
Figure 1).

9.2 Enable control
The BGA6130 can be powered down using enable pin 6 (ENABLE). In case this control
function is not needed the enable pin can be connected to the bias supply voltage pin 5
(V
CC
). The current through the enable pin 6 should never exceed 20 mA as this might
damage the ESD protection circuitry. This can be avoided either by preventing the voltage
on this pin to exceed the supply voltage (V
SUP
) or by adding a series resistor.
