0.05-4.0 GHz Dual High Dynamic Range Amplifier CDQ6004-QS May 2008 - Rev 01-May-08 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 Supply Voltage RF Input Power* Storage Temperature (Tstg) Junction Temperature Operating Temperature Thermal Resistance 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. +6.0 V +20 dBm -55 C to +125 C 150 C -40 C to +85C 52 C/W Operation of this device above any of these parameters may cause damage. *Operation with more than 10 dBm of input power may cause 2 dB degradation in OIP3 performance.
