Product Description

The ECG006 is a general-purpose buffer amplifier that

offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surface-mount

package. At 1000 MHz, the ECG006 typically provides 15

dB of gain, +32 dBm Output IP3, and +15.5 dBm P1dB.

The ECG006 consists of Darlington pair amplifiers using

the high reliability InGaP/GaAs HBT process technology

and only requires DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor,

and an inductive RF choke for operation. The device is

ideal for wireless applications and is available in low-cost,

surface-mountable plastic SOT-86, SOT-363, and SOT-89

packages. The ECG006 is also available in a lead-

free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 package. All devices

are 100% RF and DC tested.

The broadband MMIC amplifier can be directly applied to

various current and next generation wireless technologies

such as GPRS, GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA. In addition,

the ECG006 will work for other various applications within

the DC to 5.5 GHz frequency range such as CATV and

fixed wireless.

2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +2 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz. The

suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.

3. Large-signal gain is tested with an input power level of +2 dBm.
