Specifications
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.
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
AH116 / ECP052 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.

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.
