1 Introduction

The MC13851 is a cost-effective, high IP3 LNA with low noise figure. This is the smaller leadless package version of the MC13821 device. The MC13851 includes an integrated bypass switch to preserve high input intercept performance in variable signal strength environments and boosts dynamic range. On-chip bias circuitry offers low system cost. The input and output match are external to allow maximum design flexibility. An external resistor is used to set device current which allows balancing required linearity with low current consumption. Gain is optimized for applications greater than 1000 MHz. The

MC13851 is fabricated with the advanced RF BiCMOS process using the eSiGe:C module and is available in the

×

2 mm MLPD-8 leadless package, offering a small, low height, easy-to-solder solution for applications with tight printed circuit board placement requirements.

3 Application Information

The MC13851 LNA is designed for applications in the 1000 MHz to 2.5 GHz range. It has three different modes: High Gain, Low Gain (bypass) and standby. The LNA is programmable through the Gain and

Enable pins. The logic truth table is given in

Table 3 . The internal bypass switch is designed for broadband

applications. One of the advantages of the MC13851 is the simplification of the matching network in both bypass and amplifier modes. The bypass switch is designed so that changes of input and output return losses between bypass mode and active mode are minimized and the matching network design is simplified. In these application examples a balance is made between the competing RF performance characteristics of Icc, NF, gain, IP3 and return losses with unconditional stability. Conjugate matching is not used for the input or output. Instead, matching which achieves a trade-off in RF performance qualities is used. For a particular application or specification requirement, the matching can be changed to achieve enhanced performance of one parameter. Measurements are made at a bias of Vcc=2.75 V. Frequency spacing for IP3 measurements is 200 kHz. Non-linear measurements are made at Pin = -30 dBm. Typical application circuits are provided for 1575 MHz, 1960 MHz, 2140 MHz and 2.4 GHz applications. Typical

RF performance is shown for two values of bias resistor R1: 1.2 k

Ω

and 1.5 k

Ω

. These two current drain levels offer variations in intercept point, gain and noise figure. Included with each application are the

schematics and electrical performance. Section 4, “Printed Circuit and Bill of Materials

” provides the

evaluation board layout and Bill of Material for the circuits. Section 5, “Scattering and Noise Parameters

” provides Smith charts with gain and noise circles for each application frequency.

3.1

1575 MHz Application

This application was designed to provide typical NF = 1.28 dB, S21 gain = 19 dB, OIP3 =14.5 dBm with return losses better than -10 dB at 1575 MHz. Typical performance that can be expected from this circuit at 2.75V is listed in

Table 6 . The component values can be changed to enhance the performance of a

particular parameter, but usually at the expense of another. Two values of bias resistor R1 are shown to

1960 MHz Application

These application circuits are designed to demonstrate performance at 1960 MHz. Typical results of

NF = 1.4 dB, S21 gain > 18 dB and OIP3 of 16 dBm. Two values of bias resistor R1 are shown to demonstrate performance for different IP3 and Icc requirements. Resistor R3 is used to de-Q output inductor L2 and adjust gain and return losses. Inductor L3 provides bias to the logic circuit. Reducing R3 lowers gain and improves return losses. Typical performance that can be expected from this circuit at 2.75

2140 MHz Application

These application circuits demonstrate performance at 2140 MHz. Matching component values can be changed to enhance a particular parameter. Typical performance expected from this circuit at 2.75V Vcc is listed in

Table 8 . Two values of bias resistor R1 are shown to demonstrate performance for different IP3

and Icc requirements. The same matching topology is used on each of the application circuits, with a highpass match on the output and a simple inductor-capacitor network on the LNA input. Resistor R3 is used to de-Q output inductor L2 and adjust gain and return losses. Lowering the value of R3 lowers gain and improves return losses.

2400 MHz Application

This application was designed to provide NF =1.5 dB, S21 gain > 16 dB, OIP3 of 17.5 dBm with return losses better than -9 dB at 2400 MHz. Typical performance that can be expected from this circuit at 2.7V is listed in

Table 9 . Two values of bias resistor R1 are shown to demonstrate performance for different IP3

and Icc requirements. Resistor R3 is used to de-Q output inductor L2 and adjust gain and return losses.

Lowering the value of R3 lowers gain and improves return losses.

Scattering and Noise Parameters

Figure 14

through Figure 21 are the constant noise figure and gain circles with input and output stability

regions shown on Smith charts. Gamma opt, noise resistance and stability at the frequency are shown for two values of the external bias resistor at 1600-, 1950-, 2150- and 2400 MHz.
