The InGaP/GaAs HBT is able to achieve high performance across a broad range with +40.5 dBm OIP3 and +24.7 dBm of compressed 1dB power. It is housed in an industry standard SOT-89 SMT package. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested. 4 2 1 The AH118 is targeted for use as a driver amplifier in wireless infrastructure where high linearity and medium power is required. Internal biasing allows the AH118 to maintain high linearity over temperature and operate directly off a single +5V supply. This combination makes the device an excellent candidate for transceiver line cards in current and next generation multi-carrier 3G base stations.

ESD / MSL Information ESD Rating: Value: Test: Standard: Land Pattern Class 1A Passes between 250 and 500V Human Body Model (HBM) JEDEC Standard JESD22-A114 MSL Rating: Level 3 at +235° C convection reflow Standard: JEDEC Standard J-STD-020A Mounting Config. Notes Thermal Specifications Parameter Rating Operating Case Temperature Thermal Resistance1 Junction Temperature2 -40 to +85° C 92° C / W 159° C Notes: 1. The thermal resistance is referenced from the hottest part of the junction to the ground tab (pin 4). 2. This corresponds to the typical biasing condition of +5V, 160 mA at an 85° C ground tab temperature. A minimum MTTF of 1 million hours is achieved for junction temperatures below 247° C. 1. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a .35mm (#80 / .0135”) diameter drill and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010”). 2. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance. 3. Mounting screws can be added near the part to fasten the board to a heatsink. Ensure that the ground / thermal via region contacts the heatsink. 4. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PC board in the region where the board contacts the heatsink. 5. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and construction. 6. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum. 7. All dimensions are in millimeters (inches). Angles are in degrees.
