The MC13850 is a cost-effective, high IP3 low-noise amplifier (LNA) with low noise figure. This is the leadless package version of the popular MBC13720 device. As with the MBC13720, this device is designed for general purpose RF applications, yet has excellent high frequency gain and noise figure. An integrated bypass switch is included to preserve high input intercept performance. The input and output match are external to allow maximum design flexibility. The LNA has two selectable IP3 modes, a bypass mode and a standby mode. The MC13850 is fabricated with an advanced RF BiCMOS process using the SiGe:C module and is packaged in the MLPD-8 leadless package.
Evaluation kits are available for this part to speed your design effort. These evaluation kits include a fully characterized evaluation board with data, circuit schematic, BOM and design information. Each evaluation kit is specific to an application frequency. For the MC13850 there are five evaluation kits available:
