1 General description

The BGS8L2, also known as the LTE3001L, is a Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) with bypass

switch for LTE receiver applications, available in a small plastic 6-pin extremely thin

leadless package. The BGS8L2 requires one external matching inductor.

The BGS8L2 delivers system-optimized gain for both primary and diversity applications

where sensitivity improvement is required. The high linearity of these low noise devices

ensures the required receive sensitivity independent of cellular transmit power level in

FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) systems. When receive signal strength is sufficient, the

BGS8L2 can be switched off to operate in bypass mode at a 1 µA current, to lower power

consumption.

The BGS8L2 can also be used in Digital TV receivers in the frequency range 460 MHz -

740 MHz.

The BGS8L2 is optimized for 460 MHz to 960 MHz.
