MGA-30216-TR1G

RF Amplifiers Overview

The MGA-30216-TR1G is a silicon general-purpose RF amplifier from the Broadcom Meranti series, designed for operation within the 1.7 GHz to 2.7 GHz frequency range. It delivers a gain of 14.2 dB and a noise figure of 2.8 dB at a test frequency of 2 GHz. The device operates with a supply current of 400 mA and provides an output power of 0.5 W (29 dBm P1dB). Key performance metrics include an OIP3 of 45.3 dBm, input return loss of 18 dB, and isolation of 21 dB. It features a maximum power dissipation of 2.2 W and supports operating temperatures up to +150°C. The component is housed in a 16-QFN (3x3) surface-mount package.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to end-of-life status. Confirm RoHS compliance details as specified in official documentation. Ensure storage conditions account for moisture sensitivity classification prior to reflow soldering. Validate that the specific tape-and-reel packaging matches production requirements. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to ensure parameter consistency with design specifications.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring moderate gain and low noise in the 1.7–2.7 GHz band. Evaluate thermal management strategies given the 2.2 W power dissipation rating. Consider the 16-QFN footprint for PCB layout constraints. Compare against newer generations if long-term supply stability is critical, as this model is discontinued. Ensure impedance matching networks align with the specified return loss and isolation characteristics.
