1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BGU7044 MMIC is a 3.3 V wideband amplifier with internal biasing. It is designed
specifically for high linearity, low-noise applications over a frequency range of 40 MHz to
1 GHz. It is especially suited for Set-Top Box applications.
The LNA is housed in a 6-pin SOT363 plastic SMD package.
1.2 Features and benefits
Voltage supply of 3.3 V
Internally biased
Gain of 14 dB
Flat gain between 40 MHz and 1 GHz
Noise figure of 2.8 dB
High linearity with an IP3
O
of 29 dBm
75
input and output impedance
ESD protection > 2 kV Human Body Model (HBM) and > 1.5 kV Charged Device
Model (CDM) on all pins
1.3 Applications
Terrestrial Silicon and cable Set-Top Boxes (STB)
Silicon and “Can” tuners
Personal Video Recorders (PVR) and Digital Video Recorders (DVR)
Home networking and in-house signal distribution
