Document Number: MMG20271H
Rev. 0, 12/2010
Enhancement Mode pHEMT
Technology (E-
-pHEMT)
High Linearity Amplifier
The MMG20271H is a high dynamic range, low noise amplifier MMIC, housed
in a QFN 3x3 standard plastic package. It is ideal for Cellular, PCS, LTE,
TD--SCDMA, W--CDMA base station, wireless LAN and other systems in the
1500 to 2700 MHz frequency range. With high OIP3 and low noise figure, it can
be utilized as a driver amplifier in the transmit chain and as a second stage LNA
in the receive chain
.

Description
RF input for the power amplifier. RF
in
has an RF choke
to ground internal to the package. No external blocking is
necessary unless externally applied DC is present on
the trace.
RF output for the power amplifier. This pin is DC coupled
and requires a DC blocking capacitor.
Bias voltage and current adjust pin.
The center metal base of the QFN package provides
both DC and RF ground as well as the heat sink contact
for the IC.
