AG604-86

AG604-86 InGaP HBT Gain Block Product Information Product Features • • • • • • • DC – 6000 MHz ISO & EPC compliant +19.5 dBm P1dB at 900 MHz +33 dBm OIP3 at 900 MHz 20.5 dB Gain at 900 MHz Single Voltage Supply SOT-86 SMT Package Product Description The AG604-86 is a general-purpose buffer amplifier that offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surface-mount package. Its robustness and ease of use make it an ideal candidate for the core of any RFID reader application. It is compliant with EPC and ISO standards. At 900 MHz, the AG604-86 typically provides 20.5 dB of gain, +33 dBm Output IP3, and +19.5 dBm P1dB. The device combines dependable performance with consistent quality to maintain MTTF values exceeding 100 years at mounting temperatures of +85° C and is housed in a SOT-86 industry -standard SMT package. The AG604-86 consists of Darlington pair amplifiers using the high reliability InGaP/GaAs HBT technology 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 RFID technologies such as EPC, ISO, ETSI, and ANSI. Their small size makes them ideal for PCMCIA applications.
