• TDMA Handsets
• IF or RF Buffer Amplifiers
• Driver Stage for Power Amplifiers
• Oscillator Loop Amplifiers
The RF2451 is a general purpose, low-cost, high perfor-
mance low noise amplifier designed for operation from a
2.7V to 4V supply with low current consumption. The
attenuation of the device is controlled when in power
down mode, providing a known gain step. The RF2451 is
available in a small industry-standard MSOP-8 surface
mount package, enabling compact designs which con-
serve board space. The design features accurate PTAT
(Proportional To Absolute Temperature) biasing scheme
using band gap cells.
• 700MHz to 2000MHz Operation
• 2.7V to 3.6V Single Supply
• +5dBm Input IP3 at 3.0mA
• 12dB Gain at 1950MHz
• 1.8dB Noise Figure at 1950MHz
• 17dB Gain Step
