ALM-1612 - GPS LNA-Filter Front-End

General Description

Avago Technologies’ ALM-1612 is a GPS front-end module that combines a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a GPS FBAR filter.

The LNA uses Avago Technologies’ proprietary GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process to achieve high gain with very low noise figure and high linearity.

Key Features

  • Very Low Noise Figure: 0.95 dB typ.
  • High Gain: 18.2 dB typ.
  • High IIP3 and IP1dB.
  • Exceptional Cell/PCS-Band rejection.
  • Advanced GaAs E-pHEMT & FBAR Technology.
  • Low external component count.
  • Shutdown current: < 5 uA.
  • CMOS compatible shutdown pin (SD) current @ 2.7 V: 0.1mA.
  • ESD: For RFin (Pin 3): ESD Human Body Model > 3kV; All other pins: ESD Machine Model = 70V, ESD Human Body Model = 300V.
  • Meets MSL3.
  • Useable down to 1.8V supply.
  • Ad.

ALM-1612 GPS LNA-Filter Front-End Module Data Sheet Description Avago Technologies’ ALM-1612 is a GPS front-end module that combines a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a GPS FBAR filter. The LNA uses Avago Technologies’ proprietary GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process to achieve high gain with very low noise figure and high linearity. Noise figure distribution is very tightly controlled. A CMOS-compatible shutdown pin is included either for turning the LNA on/off, or for current adjustment. The integrated filter utilizes an Avago Technologies’ leading-edge FBAR filter for exceptional rejection at Cell/PCS-Band frequencies. The low noise figure and high gain, coupled with low current consumption make it suitable for use in critical lowpower GPS applications or during low-battery situations.
