Product Information
Product Description
The AH118 / ECG099 is a high dynamic range driver
amplifier in a low-cost surface mount package. The
InGaP/GaAs HBT is able to achieve high performance
across a broad range with +40.5 dBm OIP3 and +24.7 dBm
of compressed 1dB power. The AH118 / ECG099 is
available in a lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89
package. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.
The AH118 / ECG099 is targeted for use as a driver
amplifier in wireless infrastructure where high linearity and
medium power is required. Internal biasing allows the
AH118 to maintain high linearity over temperature and
operate directly off a single +5V supply. This combination
makes the device an excellent candidate for transceiver line
cards in current and next generation multi-carrier 3G base
stations.

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 impedance plots are shown from 50 – 6000 MHz, with markers placed at 0.5 – 6.0 GHz in 0.5 GHz increments.

Mounting Config. Notes
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.

MTTF vs. GND Tab Temperature
10000
Notes:
1. The thermal resistance is referenced from the hottest
part of the junction to the ground tab (pin 4).
2. This corresponds to the typical biasing condition of
+5V, 160 mA at an 85° C ground tab temperature. A
minimum MTTF of 1 million hours is achieved for
junction temperatures below 247° C.
