Product Information
Push-Pull CATV Amplifier
Product Description
The AG606 is a dual amplifier containing two internal
matched amplifiers optimal for a push-pull configuration.
The internal amplifiers employ InGaP HBT technology
for a cost-effective low-distortion solution.
The AG606 is ideal for drop amplifiers, splitters, and
other low to moderate power outside plant CATV
applications. The amplifier can also be useful in low
power headend applications such as linear laser drivers.
The AG606 has excellent VSWR when used in a 75
:
push-pull configuration. It is provided in a low-cost
environmentally-friendly lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant
SOT-89 package.

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: T = 25ºC, 800 MHz on each individual single-branch
amplifier in a 50 test fixture using a +7V supply and a 20.5 dropping resistor.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +5 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. Typical parameters reflect performance in a push-pull application circuit.
4. Balun, board, and connector losses have not been extracted, but typically account of 0.4 dB loss
midband and 1.1 dB loss at 860 MHz.
5. Measured at +34 dBmV/channel, 79 channels Flat Loading.
6. OIP2 is measured at f1 + f2 at 5 dBm / tone.

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.

Notes:
1. The thermal resistance is referenced from the hottest
part of the junction to ground tab.
2. This corresponds to the typical biasing condition of
+5.16V, 175 mA at an 85 C case temperature. A
minimum MTTF of 1 million hours is achieved for
junction temperatures below 177 C.
