Highly integrated GPS LNAs reduce cost and deliver many performance benefits
Manufactured in NXP’s breakthrough QUBiC4X SiGe:C process technology and available in the industry’s smallest package, our highly integrated GPS LNAs reduce cost while delivering better sensitivity, greater immunity against jamming signals, and higher linearity.
Key benefits
- Faster time-to-first-fix and better tracking due to improved sensitivity
- Greater immunity against out-of-band cellular signals
- Reduced filtering requirements
- <1 µA current consumption in power-down mode
- Lower overall cost
Key features
- Proven, robust QUBiC4X SiGe:C process technology (fT = 110 GHz)
- Low NF: 0.80 dB (BGU7003) / 1.1 dB (BGU7005) at 1.575 GHz
- High insertion power gain: 18.3 dB (BGU7003) / 16 dB (BGU7005) at 1.575 GHz
- Small, leadless 6-pin packages
- ESD protection on all pins
Descriptive summary
Ideal for GPS receiver applications
Ideal for GPS receiver applications, our BGU7003 and BGU7005 LNAs are made in NXP’s industry-leading QUBiC4X process, a 0.25-µm SiGe:C technology. Their very low noise figures and superior linearity performance help improve overall sensitivity, leading to faster time-to-first-fix and better tracking.
Perfect in GPS front-end modules, the BGU7003 is optimized for small footprint and flexibility. While for discrete implementations of the GPS front-end the BGU7005 is an excellent solution, being optimized for a minimum of non-critical external components. Both products have an enable function, and in power-down mode they consume less than 1 µA. LNAs restore sensitivity, provide greater immunity against out-of-band cellular signals, reduce filtering requirements and lower overall cost.
Proven QUBiC4Xi process
The proven QUBiC4Xi process improves overall RF performance and makes the LNAs less expensive, as well as offering higher, more flexible performance than their GaAs counterparts. That means consumers always know where they are, and can receive continuous directions between high rise buildings or beneath heavy overcast skies. It also means having a GPS device that can run for days, instead of hours.
