Product Description
Functional Diagram
The ECP103 is a high dynamic range driver amplifier in
a low-cost surface mount package. The InGaP/GaAs
HBT is able to achieve superior performance for various
narrowband-tuned application circuits with up to +46
dBm OIP3 and +30.5 dBm of compressed 1-dB power.
The part is housed in an industry standard SOIC-8 SMT
package. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.

The ECP103 is targeted for use as a driver amplifier in
wireless infrastructure where high linearity and medium
power is required. An internal active bias allows the
ECP103 to maintain high linearity over temperature and

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: T = 25ºC, Vsupply = +5 V in a tuned application circuit.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +15 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz. The
suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
3. This corresponds to the quiescent current or operating current under small-signal conditions into
pins 6, 7, and 8. It is expected that the current can increase by an additional 90 mA at P1dB. Pin 1
is used as a reference voltage for the internal biasing circuitry. It is expected that Pin 1 will pull
10.8 mA of current when used with a series bias resistor of R1=51 . (ie. total device current
typically will be 461 mA.)
