8. Application information
Figure 1 shows a typical application circuit for the BGA2715 MMIC. The device is
internally matched to 50 , and therefore does not need any exte rnal matching. The value
of the input and output DC blocking capacitors C2 and C3 should not be more than 100 pF
for applications above 100 MHz. However, when the device is operated below 100 MHz,
the capacitor value should be increased.
The 22 nF supply decoupling capacitor, C1 should be located as close as possible to the
MMIC.
The printed-cir cuit board (PCB) top gro und plane, conn ected to pins 2, 4 and 5 mu st be as
close as possible to the MMIC, and ideally directly beneath it. When using via holes, use
multiple via holes, located as close as possible to the MMIC.
Figure 2 shows the PCB layout, used for the standard demonstration board.

8.1 Grounding and output impedance
If the grounding is not optimal, the gain becomes less flat and the 50 outp ut matching
becomes worse. To further increase output matching to 50 , a 12 resistor (R1) can be
placed in series with C3 (see Figure 3). This will significantly improve the output
impedance, at the cost of 1 dB gain and 1 dB output pow er.
Material = FR4, thickness = 0.6 mm, r=4.6.

8.2 Application examples
The excellent wideband characteristics of the MMIC make it an ideal building block in IF
amplifiers such as LNBs (see Figure 4).
As second amplifier after an LNA, the MMIC offers an easy matching, low noise solution
(see Figure 5).

Short data sheet — A short data sheet is an extract from a full data sheet
with the same product type number(s) and tit le. A short data sh eet is intended
for quick reference only and shou ld not be rel ied u pon to cont ain det ailed and
full information. For detailed and full information see the relevant full data
sheet, which is available on request via the local NXP Semiconductors sales
office. In case of any inconsistency or conflict with the short data sheet, the
full data sheet shall pre vail.
Product specificat io n — The information and data provided in a Product
data sheet shall define the specification of the product as agreed between
NXP Semiconductors and its customer, unless NXP Semiconductors and
customer have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. In no event however,
shall an agreement be valid in which the NXP Semiconductors product is
deemed to off er functions and qualities beyond those described in the

Suitability for use — NXP Semiconductors products are not designed,
authorized or warranted to be suit able for use in life support, life-critical or
safety-critical systems or equipment, nor in applications where failure or
malfunction of an NXP Semiconductors product can reasonably be expected
to result in perso nal injury, death or severe property or environmental
damage. NXP Semiconductors accepts no liab ility for inclusion and/or use of
NXP Semiconductors products in such equipment or applications and
therefore such inclusion and/or use is at the customer’s own risk.
Applications — Applications that are described herein for any of these
products are for illustrative purposes only. NXP Semiconductors makes no
representation or warranty tha t such application s will be suitable for the
specified use without further testing or modification.
Customers are responsible for the design and ope ration of their applications
and products using NXP Semiconductors product s, and NXP Semiconductors
accepts no liability for any assistance with applications or customer product
design. It is customer’s sole responsibility to determine whether the NXP
Semiconductors product is suit able and fit for the custome r’s applications and
products planned, as well as fo r the planned application and use of
customer’s third party customer(s). Customers should provide appropriate
design and operating safeguards to minimize the risks associated with t heir
applications and products.
NXP Semiconductors does not accept any liabil ity related to any default,
damage, costs or problem which is based on any weakness or default in the
customer’s applications or products, or the application or use by customer’s
third party customer(s). Customer is responsible for doing all necessary
testing for th e customer’s applications and products using NXP
Semiconductors products in order to avoid a default of the applications and
the products or of the application or use by customer’s third party
customer(s). NXP does not accept any liability in this respect.
Limiting values — Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent
damage to the device. Limiting values are stress rating s only and (proper)
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those given in
the Recommended operating conditions section (if present) or the
Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or
repeated exposure to limiting values will permanent ly and irreversibly affect
the quality and reliability of the device.
Terms and conditions of commercial sale — NXP Semiconductors
products are sold subject to the general terms and conditions of commercial
sale, as published at http://www.nxp.com/profile/terms, unless otherwise
agreed in a valid written individua l agreement. In case an individual
