Product Description
The ECG055C is a general-purpose buffer amplifier that offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surface-mount package. At 1000 MHz, the ECG055C typically provides 19.7 dB of gain, +34 dBm Output IP3, and +18 dBm P1dB.
The ECG055C 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 lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-86 packages. A SOT-89 version is also available as the ECG055B. 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 ECG055C will work for other various applications within the DC to 6 GHz frequency range such as CATV and fixed wireless.
