Product Description
The ECG001F is a general-purpose buffer amplifier that
offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surface-mount
package. At 1000 MHz, the ECG001F typically provides
22 dB of gain, +25 dBm Output IP3, and +12.5 dBm P1dB.
The ECG001F consists of Darlington pair amplifiers using
the high reliability InGaP/GaAs HBT process technology
and only requires DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor,
and an inductive RF choke for operation. The device is
ideal for wireless applications and is available in a low-
cost, surface-mountable lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant
SOT-363 package. All devices are 100% RF and DC
tested.
The broadband MMIC amplifier can be directly applied to
various current and next generation wireless technologies
such as GPRS, GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA. In addition,
the ECG001F will work for other various applications
within the DC to 6 GHz frequency range such as CATV
and mobile wireless.

MSL / ESD Rating
ESD Rating: Class 1A
Value: Passes between 250 and 500V

MSL Rating: Level 3 at +260 °C convection reflow
Standard: JEDEC Standard J-STD-020
Mounting Config. Notes
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.
