Product details
Overview
BGA2022 from NXP Semiconductors is a silicon double-poly MMIC mixer in SOT363 package, designed for RF-to-IF downconversion in wireless receivers. It delivers 6 dB typical conversion gain at 1800 MHz, 12 dB DSB noise figure, and +7 dBm output IP3 while operating at 2.8 V and 6 mA supply current. It supports cellular (900 MHz), PCS (1900 MHz), and WLAN (2.4 GHz) bands with high LO–RF isolation and AC-coupled signal ports.
For engineers reviewing the BGA2022 datasheet, BGA2022 pinout, BGA2022 application, or BGA2022 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6-pin SOT363 footprint, 280 MHz IF output capability at 1800 MHz RF/2080 MHz LO, low-supply-current linearity, and suitability for CDMA receiver front-ends requiring stable gain and noise performance across multi-band operation.
Technical Context
The BGA2022 is a passive-balanced active mixer topology using silicon double-poly process, optimized for high conversion gain and linearity without external biasing components. Its RF input is feedback-configured (Pin 5), enabling impedance matching via external L/C networks per band-specific application notes (e.g., AN00059).
LO port return loss is ≤2:1 across 0–3 GHz, and all signal paths (LO, RF, IF) are AC-coupled with no DC voltage permitted on Pins 1, 2, or 6. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 375 K/W, supporting operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under ≤40 mW total dissipation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar MMIC mixer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini-Circuits ADE-1L+ | Higher conversion gain (8.5 dB typ.), wider LO range (0.1–500 MHz), but larger SOT-143 package and 12 mA supply current | Preferred for lab test equipment where size and power are secondary to wideband LO flexibility | Select ADE-1L+ when LO frequency below 800 MHz is required; BGA2022 remains optimal for compact, low-power wireless handsets |
| Qorvo QM11036 | Integrated LO amplifier, GaAs process, 0.5 dB lower NF (11.5 dB), but requires 3.3 V supply and 10 mA current | Suitable for higher-performance infrastructure receivers where board space permits larger 3×3 mm QFN | Choose QM11036 for improved noise floor in base station receivers; BGA2022 better fits portable device thermal and voltage constraints |
Compared with ADE-1L+ and QM11036, the BGA2022 offers the lowest supply current (6 mA) and smallest footprint (SOT363) among validated alternatives, making it uniquely suited for space-constrained, battery-operated wireless clients requiring multi-band coverage without LO amplification.

FAQ
What is the recommended LO drive level for optimal performance of the BGA2022?
The BGA2022 achieves peak conversion gain and linearity at 0 dBm LO input power, as confirmed in the Quick Reference Data and Fig.5 of the datasheet. Operating outside −3 to +3 dBm may reduce gain stability or increase distortion; the device does not require an external LO amplifier due to this low-drive requirement. The BGA2022 maintains 6 dB gain and +7 dBm OIP3 precisely at 0 dBm LO drive across its supported RF bands.
Can the BGA2022 be used with DC-coupled LO or RF inputs?
No - the BGA2022 requires strict AC coupling on LO (Pins 1 and 2) and RF (Pin 6) inputs, as explicitly stated in Note 1 of the Limiting Values section. Applying DC voltage to these pins violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. All signal paths must interface through external DC-blocking capacitors, and the LO-GND pin (Pin 1) must connect directly to system ground with minimal inductance.
What is the function of Pin 5 (RF-feedback) on the BGA2022?
Pin 5 serves as the RF feedback terminal, enabling external impedance matching networks (e.g., L1 and C1 in Fig.2) to tune RF input return loss and gain flatness per band. Unlike a standard RF input, this node forms part of an internal feedback loop that stabilizes conversion gain across frequency; omitting the external feedback network degrades both gain and VSWR performance, especially above 1 GHz.
Is the BGA2022 qualified for automotive applications?
No - the BGA2022 is explicitly designated as a non-automotive qualified product per Section "Non-automotive qualified products" on page 8 of the datasheet. It has not undergone AEC-Q100 stress testing or automotive-grade reliability qualification. For automotive infotainment or telematics receivers, engineers must select NXP's automotive-qualified mixer portfolio instead of the BGA2022.
How does thermal management impact BGA2022 performance in continuous operation?
With a junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 375 K/W, the BGA2022's die temperature rises ~22.5 °C above PCB ground temperature at 6 mA/2.8 V (16.8 mW dissipation). To maintain rated specifications, the solder point temperature (Ts) must stay ≤100 °C; exceeding this risks parameter drift and accelerated aging. Use of the exposed ground tab and ≥2 cm² copper pour beneath the SOT363 is essential for sustained operation.
