ECG004 PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET HIGH LINEARITY BROADBAND AMPLIFIER DC - 6000 MHz Features Applications Broadband Gain Blocks DC to 6000 MHz 16.2 dB Gain at 1000 MHz 13.5 dBm Output P1dB at 1000 MHz 28 dBm Output IP3 at 1000 MHz 3.2 dB Noise Figure at 2000 MHz High Linearity Amplifiers Packages Available (-B) SOT-89 (-C) 85 Mil Micro-X (-F) SOT-363 Description The ECG004 is a high reliability, high linearity, low cost broadband amplifier, optimized for commercial communications. The device is manufactured using in-house developed, advanced Indium Gallium Phosphide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (InGaP HBT) technology and is designed for use as a 50 Ohm gain block. The amplifier features excellent VSWR, low noise figure and highly linear performance. Typical OIP3 is +28dBm at 1000MHz. The ECG004 operates from a single voltage supply and requires only two DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor and an inductor for operation. The device is ideal for wireless applications and is available in a low cost, surface-mountable plastic 85 mil Micro-X and SOT-89 packages. The ECG004 is designed in the Darlington configuration with direct feedback. Its operation frequency at low end is limited only by the dc blocking capacitor and the RF choke inductor (large values are required in both cases).

It requires a DC blocking capacitor large RFin enough to handle the lowest frequency used. The two ground connections should be directly connected together to the ground plane on Gnd the PCB. The ground connection also serves as a heatsink. This pin has a nominal 50 ohm output impedance. It requires a DC bias of 35mA through a series inductor and a resistor. A bypass capacitor (1.0 micro Farad) on the DC side of the RFout inductor is recommended for providing instantaneous current during a modulated RF signal. Use a DC blocking capacitor on the output with similar requirements as the input side. EiC Corp.
