MGA-12516
High Gain, Matched-Pair Dual,
Very Low Noise Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies’ MGA-12516 is an economical, easy-
to-use GaAs MMIC matched-pair dual Low Noise Amplifier
(LNA). The LNA has very low noise, high gain and excellent
isolation achieved through the use of Avago Technologies’
proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT
process. It is housed in a miniature 4.0 x 4.0 x 0.85mm 16-
pin Small Leadless Package (SLP) package. The compact
footprint and low profile coupled with ultra-low noise and
high gain make the MGA-12516 an ideal choice as a low
noise amplifier for cellular infrastructure for GSM, CDMA
,TD-SCDMA and WiMAX applications.
