• W-CDMA applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and environmental compliance status against the manufacturer's latest documentation before finalizing procurement plans. Ensure that the required supply voltage and current specifications align with the target system power architecture. Confirm package dimensions and thermal requirements match the PCB layout constraints. Check for any recent lifecycle updates or alternative part recommendations from Analog Devices Inc. to mitigate supply chain risks.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low noise amplifier is required for frequencies between 0.7 and 1.0 GHz. The integrated bypass mode offers flexibility for gain control or isolation needs without additional external components. Consider the 5V supply requirement and 90mA current draw during power budgeting. The 16-LFCSP package size should be evaluated against available board space. Verify compatibility with CDMA, GSM, EDGE, or W-CDMA standards as per application requirements.
