The MC13820 is a high gain LNA with extremely low  
noise figure, designed for cellular, GPS and ISM band  
applications. An integrated bypass switch is included to  
preserve input intercept performance. The input and  
output match are external to allow maximum design  
flexibility. The MC13820 is fabricated using
Freescale
‘s  
advanced RF BiCMOS process using the SiGe:C option  
and is packaged in the QFN12 leadless package.

Application Information  
3 Application
 
Information  
The MC13820 SiGe:C LNA is designed for applications in the 1000 MHz to 2.4 GHz range. It has three  
different modes: High Gain, Low Gain (Bypass) and Disabled. The IC is programmable through the Gain  
and Enable pins. The logic truth table is given in
Table 5
.  
In these application examples a balance is made between the competing RF performance characteristics of  
I
, NF, gain, IP3 and return losses with unconditional stability. Conjugate matching is not used for the  
CC  
input or output. Instead, matching which achieves a trade-off in RF performance qualities is utilized. For  
a particular application or spec requirement, the matching can be changed to achieve enhanced  
performance of one parameter at the expense of other parameters.  
Application information for 1575, 1960, 2140 and 2400 MHz are shown. For each application, two current  
drain examples are provided. Typical RF performance is shown for two values of bias resistor R1: 1.2 k
Ω
 
and 2 k
Ω
, see
Table 6
,
Table 7
,
Table 8
, and
Table 9
. These two current drain states offer variation in  
intercept point, gain, and noise figure. Measurements are made at a bias of V
 
= 2.75
V
.
F
req. spacing  
CC  
for IP3 measurements is 200 kHz. Non-linear measurements are made at Pin = -30 dB. The board loss  
corrections for these boards are: Input 0.16 dB, Output 0.2 dB. Gain and NF results incorporate these  
corrections in order to better reflect the actual performance of the device.  
3.1  
1575 MHz Application  
This application circuit was designed to provide NF < 1.2 dB, S21 gain > 18 dB, OIP3 of 18 dBm with  
S11 better than -10 dB and S22 better than -10 dB at 1575 MHz with unconditional stability from 100 MHz  
to 10 GHz. Typical performance that can be expected from this circuit at 2.75 V V
 
is listed in
Table 6
.  
CC  
The component values can be changed to enhance the performance of a particular parameter, but usually  
at the expense of another. Two variations of the circuit are realized for different requirements for IP3 and  
I
.
V
a
lues of external resistors R1 and R2 are varied to adjust I
 
and IP3.

Application Information  
3.2  
1960 MHz Application  
This application circuit was designed to provide NF < 1.3 dB, S21 gain > 16 dB, OIP3 of 17 dBm with  
S11 better than -10 dB and S22 better than -10 dB at 1960 MHz with unconditional stability from 100 MHz  
to 10 GHz. Typical performance that can be expected from this circuit at 2.75 V V
 
is listed in
Table 7
.  
CC  
The component values can be changed to enhance the performance of a particular parameter, but usually  
at the expense of another. Two variations of the circuit are realized for different requirements for IP3 and  
I
.
