Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted, and distributors may not stock this item in all regions. Verification of current lifecycle status and obsolescence notifications is required before procurement planning. Sourcing should focus on authorized channels or approved secondary markets if available.

Selection Notes

Select this part only for designs compatible with the MCOP-9 package footprint and 2.7 V supply requirements. The fixed operating frequency of 1.575 GHz limits use to standard GPS bands. Due to its EOL status, alternative components must be evaluated for long-term production viability. Ensure thermal management supports the +85°C maximum junction temperature specification.

Part Context

The ALM-GP003-BLKG belongs to Broadcom's portfolio of RF front-end solutions targeting global positioning systems. It represents a specialized silicon-based integration combining passive filtering and active amplification stages. The BLKG suffix typically denotes specific packaging or tape-and-reel configurations within the broader ALM-GP003 family line.

Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided documentation. As an EOL product, engineers must identify cross-reference components from other manufacturers that match the 1.575 GHz frequency, MCOP-9 package, and 1.62 dB noise figure specifications.
