BGA7350,515

RF Amplifiers Overview

The BGA7350,515 is a dual independently digitally controlled Intermediate Frequency (IF) Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) MMIC manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 50 MHz to 250 MHz and utilizes a 32-HVQFN (5x5) package. Key electrical specifications include a gain of 19.5 dB, a P1dB output power of 17 dBm, and a noise figure of 6 dB. The device provides a gain range of 24 dB with high linearity characteristics suitable for RF signal processing applications.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors as the BGA7350,515 is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment prior to integration. Request original datasheets and test reports to ensure compliance with specified electrical parameters. Validate supply chain provenance to mitigate risks associated with end-of-life components.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent VGA channels are required for IF signals between 50 MHz and 250 MHz. Consider the 32-HVQFN package for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the 24 dB gain range and 17 dBm P1dB against system dynamic range requirements. Ensure digital control interfaces match existing controller capabilities for gain adjustment.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

The BGA7350 series represents NXP's solution for high-linearity variable gain amplification in RF front-ends. The BGA7350,515 variant specifically addresses needs for dual-channel independent control within the IF spectrum. It complements other NXP RF ICs by providing precise gain management without external analog control circuits, supporting compact system architectures.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

The BGA7350,515 is marked as obsolete. No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed in available documentation. Engineers must evaluate functional equivalents from current NXP portfolios or alternative manufacturers that support dual VGA operation in the 50-250 MHz range with comparable HVQFN packaging.
