
The RF2442 is a low noise amplifier with a very high dynamic range
designed for the receive front end of digital cellular applications at
900MHz, 1900MHz, and 2400MHz. It is designed to amplify low level signals with minimum noise contribution while operating in the harsh, interference-rich environments of newly deployed digital subscriber units. The
device also functions as an outstanding PA driver amplifier in the transmit
chain of digital subscriber units where low transmit noise power is a concern. The device supports trade-offs between linearity and current drain.
The designer has control of these trade-offs with the choice of an external
bias resistor. The IC is featured in a standard miniature 8-lead plastic
MSOP package.

Ground connection. For best performance, keep traces physically short
and connect immediately to ground plane.
No connection. This pin is typically left unconnected or grounded.
LNA Output pin. This pin is an open-collector output. It must be biased to
either VCC or pin 8 through a choke or matching inductor. This pin is typically matched to 50 with a shunt bias/matching inductor and series
blocking/matching capacitor. Refer to application schematics.
No connection. This pin is typically left unconnected or grounded.
See pin 3.
Optional power supply connection for biasing pin 6. This pin connects to
pin 1 through a 150 resistor. This allows for simple biasing of the collector at pin 6. When used, this pin should be RF bypassed. Refer to Application Schematics 1 and 3.

Description
Supply voltage for the LNA. External RF and IF bypassing is required. The
trace length between the pin and the bypass capacitors should be minimized. The ground side of the bypass capacitors should connect immediately to ground plane. This pin connects to pin 8 through a 150 resistor.
This allows for simple biasing of the collector at pin 6. Refer to Application
Schematics 1 and 3.
Ground connection. For best performance, keep traces physically short
and connect immediately to ground plane.
RF input pin. This pin is internally DC-blocked and matched to 50 for frequencies above 1GHz. When using below 1GHz, it is recommended that
this pin be matched with series inductance to series-resonate out the internal blocking capacitor. Refer to Application Schematics 1 and 2.
