LNA Biasing Options
LNA1 and LNA2 biases can be set in 2 different ways: using only V DD, or using separate VDD and VBIAS [VB]
voltages. A separate VBIAS voltage allows VB1 and VB2 to be used as enable pins to power LNA1 and LNA2 upand down during operation.
For both bias methods, select the value of RBIAS1 and RBIAS2 to achieve the desired currents using the plots on
page 5. LNA1 current should not exceed 100 mA @ 25 °C and likewise LNA2 current should not exceed 95 mA@ 25 °C. DC blocking capacitors must be used at the LNA1 and 2 input and output ports (see diagram).

Biasing Option - VDD only
To use only VDD, connect to VDD [1,2] through an RF inductor and connect V B [1,2] to the corresponding VDD
through bias resistor RBIAS [1,2] as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1Biasing Option - Separate VDD and VBB Voltages (VBB ≤ VDD)
To use separate VDD and VBB voltages, connect to VDD [1,2] through an RF inductor and connect to VBB [1,2]through bias resistor RBIAS [1,2] as shown in Figure 2. Typical current draw for V B[1,2] is 1.4 mA @ VBB = 3 V ,and1 µA @ VBB = 0 V. Typical current draw for VDD [1,2] is < 1 µA @ VBB = 0 V and VDD = 3V.
