Product Description
The AH116 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 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.

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: 25 ºC, +5V supply, 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.

AH116-S8G (Lead-Free Package) Mechanical Information
This package is lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant. The plating material on the leads is NiPdAu. It is compatible with both lead-free
(maximum 260
°C
reflow temperature) and lead (maximum 245
°C
reflow temperature) soldering processes.
Outline Drawing
Product Marking
The component will be marked with an
“AH116G” designator with an alphanumeric lot
code on the top surface of the package. The
obsolete tin-lead package is marked with an
“AH116-S8” or “ECP052G” designator
followed by an alphanumeric lot code.

Mounting Config. Notes
Mounting Configuration / Land Pattern
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.
