Product Description
The AH115 / ECP050 is a high dynamic range driver
amplifier in a low-cost surface mount package. The
InGaP/GaAs HBT is able to achieve high performance for
various narrow-band tuned application circuits with up to
+44 dBm OIP3 and +28.5 dBm of compressed 1-dB power.
All devices are 100% RF and DC tested. The AH115 /
ECP050 is available in lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant
SOIC-8 package.
The product is targeted for use as driver amplifiers for
wireless infrastructure where high linearity and medium
power is required. The internal active bias allows the
AH115 / ECP050 to maintain high linearity over
temperature and operate directly off a +5 V supply. This
combination makes the device an excellent fit for
transceiver line cards and power amplifiers in current and
next generation multi-carrier 3G base stations.

Device Voltage
1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted. 25ºC, Vsupply = +5 V in tuned application circuit.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +11 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. It is
expected that the current can increase up to 300mA at P1dB.

Notes:
The gain for the unmatched device in 50 ohm system is shown as the trace in black color. For a tuned circuit for a particular frequency,
it is expected that actual gain will be higher, up to the maximum stable gain. The maximum stable gain is shown in the dashed red line.
The return loss plots are shown from 50 – 5050 MHz, with markers placed at 0.5 – 5.05 GHz in 0.5 GHz increments.

Product Information
AH115-S8 (SOIC-8 Package) Mechanical Information
This package may contain lead-bearing materials. The plating material on the leads is SnPb.
Product Marking
The component will be marked with an
“AH115-S8” designator with an alphanumeric
lot code on the top surface of the package.
Tape and reel specifications for this part are
located on the website in the “Application
Notes” section.
ESD / MSL Information
MSL Rating: Level 3 at +235 C convection reflow
Standard:
JEDEC Standard J-STD-020
Mounting Config. Notes
Land Pattern
1. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of
this device. Vias should use a .35mm (#80 / .0135” ) diameter
drill and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010” ).
2. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near
the part to ensure optimal thermal performance.
3. Mounting screws can be added near the part to fasten the board
to a heatsink. Ensure that the ground / thermal via region
contacts the heatsink.
4. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PC board in the
region where the board contacts the heatsink.
5. RF trace width depends upon the PC board
material and
construction.
6. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum.
7. All dimensions are in millimeters (inches). Angles are in
degrees.

Notes:
1. The thermal resistance is referenced from the junction-to-
case at a case temperature of 85 C. Tjc is a function of the
voltage at pins 6 and 7 and the current applied to pins 6, 7,
and 8 and can be calculated by:
Tjc = Tcase + Rth * Vcc * Icc
2. This corresponds to the typical biasing condition of +5V,
250 mA at an 85 C case temperature. A minimum MTTF
of 1 million hours is achieved for junction temperatures
below 247 C.
