Product Description
The RF3865 is a low noise amplifier with a high output IP3. The amplifier
is self-biased from a single voltage supply with 50 : input and output
ports. The useful frequency range is from 400 MHz to 3800 MHz. A 1 dB
noise figure and 36 dBm OIP3 performance is achieved with a 5 V VDD,
180 mA. Current can be increased to raise OIP3 while having minimal
effect on noise figure. The IC is featured in a standard QFN, 20-pin,
5 mm x 5 mm package.

Evaluation Board Schematic
R3 is DNP for standard 180 mA current draw. If R3 is added, the IDD will increase. A 20 : R3 will raise the current to achieve
higher linearity.

RF3865
Theory of Operation
Low noise figure and high gain/IP3 make the RF3865 ideal for use as both receive LNA and transmit driver for cellular/DCS/PCS/UMTS and WiMax platforms, in addition to many other general purpose applications. Standard evaluation boards
cover 700 MHz to 1100 MHz and 800 MHz to 3800 MHz. Viewing the data sheet evaluation board schematic, refer below for
the purpose/function of external components.
• R2/L4/C6 (0 :/unpopulated/unpopulated on standard evaluation boards); These unused components were placed for
convenience and flexibility when needed to optimize matching for an out of band application.
• L3/C5/C7: Placed to optimize input match and enhance out of band low frequency stability.
es
ig
n
• R3: Optionally placed to increase bias current and IP3. 20 : value is found to be the best case. Refer to RF3861, RF3863,
and RF3866 data sheets for graphical demonstration of 20 : optimal value. RF3865 has been confirmed to follow the
same trend.
• L1/C3/R5/C8: Interstage tuning.
• L2/C4: Influence output return loss.
D
RF3865 has internal DC-blocking capacitors at RFin and RFout. In addition, it has been shown impedance seen looking out at
pins 7/9/17/19 influence response. As a result, two port s-parameters become non-applicable. If matching is desired for frequency bands outside of those provided with standard evaluation boards, an application schematic within this data sheet for
550 MHz to 3000 MHz serves as an example. In the 550 MHz to 3000 MHz application, design goals were as follows:
• Input and output return loss equal to or better than 10 dB over the entire 2450 MHz bandwidth.
ew
• IP3 and compression point in line with standard evaluation board performance.
These goals were attained, with additional specifications shown in the graph section of the data sheet:
rN
• Noise figure < = 1.2 dB from 1000 MHz to 2500 MHz
• Gain > 30 dB from 550 MHz to 2000 MHz
N
ot
Fo
The above matching discussion should be helpful when considering use in frequency bands outside of those covered by standard evaluation boards. It can be noted here that application schematics and standard boards collectively cover 87% of the
usable bandwidth from 400 MHz to 3800 MHz. As such, choosing from these available schematics should accommodate the
majority of applications that come about.
