MCP03 2.4 to 2.5 GHz RF Front End IC
Description
The MCP03 contains a power amplifier (PA), a low noise amplifier (LNA), and two SPDT switch. It is a 20-pins IC by 4×4mm2-QFN package. RF input and output impedance of MCP03 are 50Ω matched. Therefore, precious real estate of circuit board is saved when MCP03 is used. Besides, there is one more precious advantage of MCP03. MCP03 and MCP05 are pin-to-pin compatible. Compared with MCP05, MCP03’s maximum output power is 5dB higher but consumes around 50mA more of current. When low consumption current is critical in a different wireless communication market, the MCP03 in the original circuit board can be replaced by MCP05 directly without modification of the original PCB. With the use of MCP03, it will offer convenience, flexibility and cost saving.
