BGS8L2X

BGS8L2X is a SiGe:C low-noise amplifier MMIC with bypass switch for LTE. The BGS8L2, also known as the LTE3001L is a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass switch for LTE receiver applications, available in a small plastic 6-pin extremely thin leadless package. The BGS8L2 requires one external matching inductor. The BGS8L2 delivers system-optimized gain for both primary and diversity applications where sensitivity improvement is required. The high linearity of these low noise devices ensures the required receive sensitivity independent of cellular transmit power level in FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) systems. When receive signal strength is sufficient, the BGS8L2 can be switched off to operate in bypass mode at a 1µA current, to lower power consumption. The BGS8L2 can also be used in Digital TV receivers in the frequency range 460MHz -740MHz. Applications include LNA for LTE reception in smart phones, feature phones, tablet PCs, RF front-end modules, digital TV receivers.
