Product Information
Product Description
The AH116 / ECP052 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
+43 dBm OIP3 and +28 dBm of compressed 1-dB power
and is housed in a lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOIC-8
package. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.

Test conditions unless otherwise noted.
1. T = 25ºC, Vsupply = +5 V, Frequency = 900 MHz, in tuned application circuit.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +13 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.

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-

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.
