AW5015 datasheet  
Apr 2016 V1.2  
Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier for Global Navigation  
Satellite Systems (GNSS)  
FEATURES  
INTRODUCTION  
Reduce RF environment Interference  
with patented Smart-Linearity-Tech-  
nology (SLT);  
Ultra low noise figure(NF)=0.60dB;  
High power gain=18.5dB;  
High linearity IIP3oob=+4.5dBm;  
High input 1dB-compression point=  
-9.2dBm;  
The AW5015 is a Low Noise Amplifier  
designed for Global Navigation Satellite  
Systems (GNSS) as GPS, GLONASS, Ga-  
lileo and Compass. With on-chip DC  
blocking capacitors at RFIN and RFOUT,  
The AW5015 can be close to the antenna,  
requires only one external input matching  
inductor, and reduces assembly complexity  
and the PCB area, enabling a cost-effective  
solution.  
Requires only one input matching  
inductor;  
RF output internally matched to 50 ohm;  
Supply voltage: 1.5V to 3.6V;  
Operating frequencies: 1550~1615MHz;  
Slim DFN-6L package:1.1mmX0.9mmX  
0.45mm  
The AW5015 with patented Smart Li-  
nearity Technology (SLT) achieves ultra low  
noise figure, high linearity, high gain, over a  
wide range of supply voltages from 1.5V up  
to 3.6V. All these features make AW5015  
an excellent choice for GNSS LNA as it  
improves sensitivity with low noise figure  
and high gain, provide better immunity  
against out-of-band jammer signals with  
high linearity, reduces filtering requirement  
of preceding stage and hence reduces the  
overall cost of the GNSS receiver.  
3kV HBM ESD protection (including  
RFIN and RFOUT pin)  
APPLICATIONS  
Smart phones, feature phones,  
Tablet PCs,  
Personal Navigation Devices,  
Digital Still Cameras, Digital Video Cam-  
eras;  
RF Front End modules;  
Complete GPS chipset modules;  
Theft protection(laptop, ATM);  
The AW5015 is available in a small  
lead-free, RoHS-Compliant, 1.1mm  
x
0.9mm x 0.45mm 6-pin DFN package
。

Note1
: Stresses beyond those listed under
“
absolute maximum ratings
”
may cause permanent damage to the device.  
These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those  
indicated under
“
recommended operating conditions
”
is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rated condi-  
tions for extended periods may affect device reliability.  
Note2:
Warning: due to internal ESD diode protection, the applied DC voltage should not exceed 5.0V in order to  
avoid excess current.  
Note3:
The RF input and RF output are AC coupled through internal DC blocking capacitor.

APPLICATION INFORMATIONS  
2. The
 
output of AW5015 is internally  
matched to 50 ohm and a DC  
blocking capacitor is integrated  
on-chip, thus no external compo-  
nent is required at the output.  
1.1
EN control  
The AW5015 includes an internal  
switch to turn off the entire chip:  
apply logic high to EN to turn on,  
and a logic low to shut down.  
1.2
List of components  
3. The AW5015 should be placed  
close to the GPS antenna with the  
input-matching inductor. Use 50-  
ohm microstrip lines to connect RF  
INPUT and RF OUTPUT. Bypass  
capacitor should be located close to  
the device. For long Vcc lines, it  
may be necessary to add more  
1. The
 
AW5015 requires only one ex-  
ternal inductor for input matching. If  
the device/phone manufacturers  
implement very good power supply  
filtering on their boards, the bypass  
capacitor mentioned in this applica-  
tion circuit may be optional. With  
the capacitor we can get better  
performance like a little higher gain  
etc. The value is optimized for the  
best gain, noise figure, return loss  
performance. Typical value of in-  
ductor is 9.1nH, capacitor is 1n

Proper  
grounding of the GND pins is very  
important.
