ECP100 PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET 1.0 WATT POWER AMPLIFIER Product Features Applications Basestations and Repeaters CDMA/GSM/TDMA/EDGE PCS/CDMA2000/IMT2000/UMTS Multi-carrier systems 100 - 2300MHz 31 dBm P1dB High Linearity: 47 dBm OIP3 High Efficiency: PAE > 45% 12 dB Linear Gain at 1.96GHz Single 5V Supply High Reliabilty Class A or AB operation Packages Available QFN-16 (4x4mm) SOIC-8 Product Description The ECP100 is a single stage, 1.0W power amplifier that offers excellent linearity and efficiency. This device was developed using EiC’s proprietary InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process. The devices have a partially matched input impedance. It is optimized for multicarrier applications and allows customers to use class A or class AB operations. The devices can be easily matched in output side to obtain the optimum power, linearity and efficiency. The product is targeted for use as a driver amplifier for wireless infrastructure applications. It is available in two surface-mount plastic packages: QFN-16 (4x4mm) and SOIC-8.

External circuit should provide DC blocking. These are the output pins, which connects to the collector of the transistor. On the PCB, the two pins should also be tied together. Vcc connects to these through an inductor. A DC blocking capacitor is required. This pin provides current to the bias circuit , typically Vbias = Vcc. Bypass capacitors should be placed as close as practically possible to this pin. This pin provides ground and heat sinking. EiC Corp.

The values are the same for all the capacitors except for matching. Matching circuits are described by the schematics. The values of the components are listed in the bill of material. The DC power connector consists of four pins. The two inside pins are for ground. The Vref/pd pin of the IC can be used to set the amplifier in class A operation when connected to 5V, or varying degree of Class AB by adjusting the voltage lower (typically >3.0 volts). The bias condition can also be set by varying the value of R1while keeping the Vref/pd at 5V. The Vcc pin can operate up to 7 volts Vcc. The bias current can be adjusted by the reference voltage or R1 value. Revision H SS-000535-000 EiC Corp.
