F1490NLGA8

RF Amplifiers Overview

The F1490NLGA8 is a high-gain RF amplifier from Renesas Electronics, designed for general-purpose applications within the 1.8 GHz to 5.0 GHz frequency range. It operates on a single 5 V supply with a typical current consumption of 75 mA. Key electrical specifications include a gain of 39.5 dB, a noise figure of 2.5 dB, and a P1dB compression point of 24 dBm. The device features an OIP3 of 38 dBm and is housed in a compact 16-VFQFPN package with an exposed pad, suitable for surface-mount assembly.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Provides high gain amplification across a broad UHF and microwave frequency spectrum
• Optimized for low noise performance in signal reception chains
• Operates efficiently on a standard 5 V power supply

RF Amplifiers Applications

• GPS receiver front-end modules
• Wireless LAN infrastructure equipment
• General purpose RF signal conditioning circuits

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Renesas distributors or certified partners. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status and check for recent Product Change Notifications (PCNs) regarding packaging or assembly site updates. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during storage and installation due to the sensitive nature of RF integrated circuits.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed high-gain solution is required for frequencies between 1.8 GHz and 5.0 GHz. Consider the 16-VFQFPN package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 75 mA supply current and the exposed pad design for heat dissipation in dense assemblies.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the F1490 series of RF amplifiers manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It is functionally similar to the F1490NLGA but may differ in packaging configuration, such as tape-and-reel versus tray options. The series is categorized under wireless and RF integrated circuits, targeting communication systems requiring reliable signal amplification.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the F1490NLGA, though packaging differences must be verified. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical parameters carefully before substitution to ensure compatibility with existing RF traces and biasing networks.
