Application Information

The MBC13720 SiGe:C LNA is designed for applications in the 400 MHz to 2.4 GHz range. It has four
different modes: Low IP3, High IP3, Bypass, and Standby. The IC is programmable through the Enable 1
and Enable 2 pins. In Low IP3 mode, current consumption is optimized. Current consumption is higher in
High IP3 mode to boost the intercept point performance. The gain difference between Low IP3 and High
IP3 modes is typically 1.0 dB; and typically the Low IP3 mode has a slightly better noise figure
performance.
The internal bypass switch is designed for broadband applications. One of the advantages of the
MBC13720 is the simplification of the matching network in both bypass and amplifier modes. The bypass
switch is designed so that changes of input and output return losses between bypass mode and amplifier
mode are minimized. As a result, the mismatch at the LNA input and output is minimized and the matching
network design is simplified.
In the design of the external matching network, conjugate matching does not necessarily provide the best
noise figure performance. Balancing between noise figure, gain, and intercept point is the major design
consideration. Typical circuits are provided in
applications.

the 900 MHz application circuit with feedback network for higher IP3. Capacitive feedback is used to
increase the 3rd order input intercept point while decreasing gain and provides unconditional stability.
