EC-1019 PRODUCTION DATA SHEET HIGH LINEARITY BROADBAND AMPLIFIER DC - 6 GHz Features Applications Broadband Gain Blocks DC to 6 GHz 18.5 dB Gain at 1000 MHz 19 dBm Output P1dB at 1000 MHz 34 dBm Output IP3 at 1000 MHz 5.5 dB Noise Figure at 2000 MHz High Linearity Amplifiers Packages Available (-B) SOT-89 (-C) 85 Mil Micro-X Description The EC-1019 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 +34dBm at 1000MHz. The EC-1019 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.

It requires a DC blocking capacitor RFin large enough to handle the lowest frequency used. The two ground connections should be directly connected together to the ground plane Gnd on the PCB. This pin has a nominal 50 ohm output impedance. It requires a DC bias of 70mA typically through a series inductor/ resistor pair. Using a bypass capacitor (0.01 RFout micro Farad) on the DC side of the the series inductor/ resistor is also recommended. Use a DC blocking capacitor on the output with similar requirements as the input side. EiC Corp.

Reliability and Burn-In Test EiC performs burn-in for selected lots on a regular basis to monitor and guarantee consistent product quality and reliability. The burn-in process consists of pre-conditioning (JESD22-A113-B), pre and post RF tests, and bias life (JESD22A108-A). The table is based on the following parameters and conditions: Activation Energy: 1.85eV Junction to Ambient Temperature Difference: +45oC Confidence levels of 60% and 90% are used to calculate FIT (Failure In Time), for the maximum operating ambient temperature at +85oC.
