Description
Agilent Technologies’s ATF-
501P8 is a single-voltage high
linearity, low noise E-pHEMT
housed in an 8-lead JEDEC-
standard leadless plastic chip
carrier (LPCC[3]) package. The
device is ideal as a medium-
power amplifier. Its operating
frequency range is from 400 MHz
to 3.9 GHz.

The thermally efficient package
measures only 2mm x 2mm x
0.75mm. Its backside
metalization provides excellent
thermal dissipation as well as
visual evidence of solder reflow.
The device has a Point MTTF of
over 300 years at a mounting
temperature of +85ºC. All devices
are 100% RF & DC tested.

Notes:
Applications
1. Enhancement mode technology employs a
single positive Vgs, eliminating the need of
negative gate voltage associated with
conventional depletion mode devices.
• Front-end LNA Q2 and Q3, Driver or
Pre-driver Amplifier for Cellular/
PCS and WCDMA wireless
infrastructure
2. Refer to reliability datasheet for detailed
MTTF data.
Attention:
• Driver Amplifier for WLAN, WLL/
RLL and MMDS applications
Observe precautions for
handling electrostatic
sensitive devices.
3. Conforms to JEDEC reference outline MO229
for DRP-N.
• General purpose discrete E-pHEMT
for other high linearity applications
4. Linearity Figure of Merit (LFOM) is essentially
OIP3 divided by DC bias power.
