RF LNA suits portables with built-in TV tuners

Suited for use with portable systems with a built in TV tuner, the TA4029CTC VHF-to-UHF dual-mode RF amplifier IC supports two modes: a pass-through mode that allows strong signals to bypass the LNA to prevent the degradation of the received signal quality, and LNA mode that amplifies weak signals to improve reception sensitivity. The IC accepts a supply voltage range of 2.3 to 3.3 V to match the supply voltage of the RF tuner and demodulator ICs.

Available in a 6-pin CST package, the amplifier supports mode switching with a logic IC, and can be directly driven by a demodulator IC. The supply current is also adjustable with an external resistor, independent of the power supply voltage. ($0.50 ea/sample qtyavailable now.)
