The EC1078B is a general-purpose buffer amplifier that offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surface-mount package. At 1000 MHz, the EC1078B typically provides 20 dB of gain, +37 dBm Output IP3, and +21 dBm P1dB. The EC1078B consists of Darlington pair amplifiers 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 device is ideal for wireless applications and is available in a low-cost, surface-mountable lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT89 package. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.
