AG-6 Product Features DC 6 MHz. db Gain @ 9 MHz + dbm PdB @ 9 MHz +6 dbm OIP @ 9 MHz Single Voltage Supply Internally matched to Robust V ESD, Class C Lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-6 package Applications Mobile Infrastructure CATV / FTTX WLAN / ISM RFID WiMAX / WiBro Product Description The AG-6 is a general-purpose buffer amplifier that offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surface-mount package. At 9 MHz, the AG-6 typically provides. db gain, +6 dbm OIP, and + dbm PdB. The device combines dependable performance with consistent quality to maintain MTTF values exceeding years at mounting temperatures of + C and is housed in a lead free/green/rohs-compliant SOT-6 industry standard SMT package. The AG-6 consists of a Darlington-pair amplifier 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 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 AG-6 will work for other various applications within the DC to 6 GHz frequency range such as CATV and WiMAX.

Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a.mm (# /. ) diameter drill and have a final plated thru diameter of. mm (. ).. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance.. 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.. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PC board in the region where the board contacts the heatsink.. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and construction. 6. Use oz. Copper minimum. 7. All dimensions are in millimeters (inches). Angles are in degrees.
