LMH9226IRRLR

Overview

The LMH9226IRRLR is a single-ended to differential RF gain block amplifier manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within the 2.3 GHz to 2.9 GHz frequency range, supporting a 400 MHz bandwidth centered at 2.6 GHz. The device provides a typical gain of 17 dB with a noise figure of 3 dB. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 17.5 dBm and an OIP3 of 35 dBm. It functions on a 3.3 V supply with a current draw of 84 mA. The component is housed in a WQFN-12 package and supports surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Converts single-ended input signals to differential output for improved signal integrity
• Optimized for operation at a 2.6 GHz center frequency with wide bandwidth
• High linearity performance suitable for demanding RF applications

Applications

• GPS receiver front-end stages
• Wireless communication systems operating in the 2.3-2.9 GHz band
• General-purpose RF amplification in mobile devices

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required reel quantity and packaging configuration. Confirm the specific voltage supply requirements align with the system design constraints. Ensure the thermal pad connection is properly managed during assembly to maintain reliability. Check for moisture sensitivity level compliance before soldering processes begin.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended to differential conversion is required alongside gain in the 2.3-2.9 GHz range. Consider the 17 dB gain and 3 dB noise figure for low-noise application needs. Evaluate the WQFN-12 package size against available PCB space. Compare the 84 mA supply current against power budget limitations.
