Gener a l Des cr iption
The ECG001F-G is a general-purpose buffer amplifier
that offers high dynamic ra
nge in a low-cost surface
-
mount package. At 1000
MHz, the ECG001F-G
typically
provides 22
dB of gain, +25
dBm Output IP3, and
+12.5
dBm P1dB.
The
ECG001F-G consists of a Darlington-
pair amplifier
using t
he high reliability InGaP/
GaAs HBT process
techn
ology 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.
Th
is
broadband MMIC amplifier can be directly applied
to various current and next generation wireless
technologies
. In addition, the ECG001F-G will
satisfy
general amplification requirements in
the DC to 6
GHz
freque
ncy range such as CA TV and mobile wireless.

Notes:
1. All dimensions are in millim ete r s (inches). Angles are in degrees.
2. Use 1 oz. copper minimum for top and bottom layer metal.
3. Vias are required under the backside paddle of thi s device for proper RF/DC grounding and thermal dissipation.
4. Do not remove or minimize via hole structure in the PCB. Thermal and RF grounding is critical.
5. We recommend a 0.35mm (#80/.0135") diameter bit for drilling via holes and a final plated thru diam eter of 0.25 mm (0.10”).
6. The RF I/O trace tr an sit ion sh own is to a 30 mil wide line. Modify transition as required to interface with other line widths.
