Functional Diagram
GND
The ECG015 is a high dynamic range driver amplifier in a
low-cost surface mount package. The InGaP/GaAs HBT is
able to achieve performance over a broad range with +41
dBm OIP3 and +24 dBm of compressed 1dB power and is
housed in a lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 SMT
package. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.
• 1800 – 2500 MHz
• +24 dBm P1dB

• +41 dBm OIP3
• 15 dB Gain
• 5 dB Noise Figure
• Single Positive Supply (+8V)
The product is targeted for use as a gain block/driver
amplifier for various current and next generation wireless
technologies such as CDMA, DCS1800 and CDMA2000,
where high linearity and medium power is required. In
addition, the ECG015 will work for numerous other
applications within the 1800 to 2500 MHz frequency range.
