0.05-4.0 GHz Dual High Dynamic Range Amplifier CDQ6004-QS August 2007 - Rev 11-Aug-07 Features Matched Pair of Amplifiers for Optimum Balanced Design 0.05 to 4.0 GHz Frequency Range 44 dBm Output IP3 (Balanced configuration) 41 dBm Output IP3 (Single-ended configuration) 15 dB Gain @ 2 GHz 23 dBm P1dBm 2.1 dB Noise Figure RoHS Compliant 4X4 QFN Package Single Positive Supply +3V to +5V Voltage Rail Absolute Maximum Ratings General Description The CDQ6004-QS is a dual high dynamic range amplifier designed for applications operation within the 0.05 to 4.0 GHz frequency range. Co-located matched amplifiers are assembled in the 4mm X 4mm QFN package. The low-cost, surface-mount, 16 terminal, plastic package is RoHS compliant. The CDQ6004-QS is an ideal solution for implementing balanced or push-pull designs. The amplifier can also be used for dual-band operation where single-ended design is used for each band. The amplifier has the flexibility of being optimized for a number of wireless applications. The combination of low noise figure and high IP3 at the same bias point make it an ideal transmit or receive solution when used in applications including CATV operating from 50 to 850 MHz, cellular and PCS (personal communications service) operating from 0.8 to 2.2 GHz; MMDS (multichannel multipoint distribution systems) operating from 2.2 to 2.7 GHz; and WLAN (wireless LAN) operation at 2.4 GHz. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.

As used herein: (1) Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into the body, or (b) support or sustain life, and whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be reasonably expected to result in a significant injury to the user. (2) A critical component is any component of a life support device or system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its safety or effectiveness. Package Attachment - This packaged product from Mimix Broadband is provided as a rugged surface mount package compatible with high volume solder installation. Care should be taken not to apply heavy pressure to the top or base material to avoid package damage. Vacuum tools or other suitable pick and place equipment may be used to pick and place this part. Care should be taken to ensure that there are no voids or gaps in the solder connection so that good RF, DC and ground connections are maintained. Voids or gaps can eventually lead not only to RF performance degradation, but reduced reliability and life of the product due to thermal stress. Mimix Lead-Free RoHS Compliant Program - Mimix has an active program in place to meet customer and governmental requirements for eliminating lead (Pb) and other environmentally hazardous materials from our products. All Mimix RoHS compliant components are form, fit and functional replacements for their non-RoHS equivalents. Lead plating of our RoHS compliant parts is 100% matte tin (Sn) over copper alloy and is backwards compatible with current standard SnPb low-temperature reflow processes as well as higher temperature (260°C reflow) “Pb Free” processes.
