Product Description
Functional Diagram
The AG201-63 is a general-purpose buffer amplifier that
offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surface-mount
package. At 900 MHz, the AG201-63 typically provides
11 dB gain, +19 dBm OIP3, and +6.5 dBm P1dB. The
device combines dependable performance with consistent
quality to maintain MTTF values exceeding 1000 years at
mounting temperatures of +85 °C and is housed in a lead-
free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-363 industry standard
SMT package.

• Internally matched to 50 Ω
The AG201-63 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.

Applications
• Mobile Infrastructure
• CATV / FTTX
• W-LAN / ISM
• RFID
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 AG201-63 will work for other various applications
within the DC to 6 GHz frequency range such as CATV
and WiMAX.
