Product Description
The ECG006 is a general-purpose buffer amplifier that
offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surface-mount
package. At 1000 MHz, the ECG006 typically provides 15
dB of gain, +32 dBm Output IP3, and +15.5 dBm P1dB.

The ECG006 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. The device is
ideal for wireless applications and is available in low-cost,
surface-mountable plastic SOT-86, SOT-363, and SOT-89
packages. The ECG006 is also available in a lead-
free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 package. All devices
are 100% RF and DC tested.

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 ECG006 will work for other various applications within
the DC to 5.5 GHz frequency range such as CATV and
fixed wireless.
