The RF2371 is a general purpose, low-cost, high perfor-
mance low noise amplifier designed for operation from a
2.7V to 4V supply with low current consumption. The
attenuation of the device is controlled when in power
down mode, providing a known gain step. The RF2371 is
available in a small industry-standard SOT23-8 surface
mount package, enabling compact designs which con-
serve board space. The design features a highly accurate
PTAT (Proportional To Absolute Temperature) biasing
scheme using bandgap cells.
• 700MHz to 2000MHz Operation
• 2.7V to 3.6V Single Supply
•+5dBm Input IP3 at 3.0mA
•12dB Gain at 1950MHz
• 1.8dB Noise Figure at 1950MHz
•17dB Gain Step
