1 General description

The BGS8H2 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

BGS8H2 requires one external matching inductor.

The BGS8H2 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 BGS8H2 can be switched off to operate in bypass mode at a 1 µA current, to lower

power consumption.

The BGS8H2 is optimized for 2300 MHz to 2690 MHz.
