BNT21

RF Amplifiers Overview

The BNT21 is a broadband RF amplifier IC from BeRex Corp, designed for frequencies between 50MHz and 6GHz. It features a gain of 18dB, a noise figure of 1.5dB, and a P1dB of 19dBm. The device operates on a supply voltage of 3.3V to 5.25V with a current draw of 68mA to 102mA. It is housed in an 8-DFN (2x2) surface-mount package.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Broadband operation covering 50MHz to 6GHz
• Low noise figure of 1.5dB
• High linearity with 19dBm output power at 1dB compression

RF Amplifiers Applications

• 5G NR infrastructure
• Cellular base stations
• LTE systems
• PCS networks
• WiMAX applications

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix required for your packaging needs, such as tape and reel or cut tape options. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors. Ensure the 8-DFN footprint matches your PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth spanning from VHF to SHF is required alongside low noise performance. The 18dB gain and 19dBm linear output make it suitable for intermediate frequency stages. Consider the 8-DFN package size for compact board designs requiring surface-mount integration.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

BeRex Corp specializes in RF and microwave integrated circuits for wireless communication. The BNT21 belongs to their portfolio of high-performance amplifiers targeting modern cellular and broadband standards. This part supports the industry shift toward wider bandwidths in next-generation network infrastructure.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are confirmed for the BNT21. Evaluate alternative broadband LNAs only if they match the 50MHz-6GHz range, 8-DFN package, and similar electrical specifications without redesigning the surrounding circuitry.
