The BGS8L2 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 requiresone external matching inductor.

The BGS8L2 delivers system-optimized gain for both primary and diversity applicationswhere sensitivity improvement is required. The high linearity of these low noise devicesensures the required receive sensitivity independent of cellular transmit power level inFDD (Frequency Division Duplex) systems. When receive signal strength is sufficient, theBGS8L2 can be switched off to operate in bypass mode at a 1 μA current, to lower powerconsumption.

The BGS8L2 is optimized for 728 MHz to 960 MHz.
