Description
• Excellent uniformity in product
specifications
Agilent Technologies’s ATF-521P8 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, high-linearity am-
plifier. Its operating frequency range
is from 50 MHz to 6 GHz.

• Tape-and-reel packaging option
The thermally efficient package mea-
sures only 2mm x 2mm x 0.75mm. Its
backside metalization provides excel-
lent thermal dissipation as well as vi-
sual evidence of solder reflow. The
device has a Point MTTF of over 300
years at a mounting temperature of
+85°C. All devices are 100% RF & DC
tested.

• 26.5 dBm output power at 1 dB gain
compression
Note:
Package marking provides orientation and
identification
• 1.5 dB noise figure
• 17 dB Gain
“2P” = Device Code
• 12.5 dB LFOM[4]
“x” = Month code indicates the month of
manufacture.
Note:
1. Enhancement mode technology employs a
single positive Vgs, eliminating the need of
negative gate voltage associated with
conventional depletion mode devices.
Applications
• 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
3. Conform to JEDEC reference outline MO229
for DRP-N
4. Linearity Figure of Merit (LFOM) is essentially
OIP3 divided by DC bias power.
• Driver amplifier for WLAN,
WLL/RLL and MMDS applications
• General purpose discrete E-pHEMT
for other high linearity applications
