General Description
The CDQ6004-QS is a dual high dynamic range amplifier designed
for applications operation within the 0.25 to 3GHz frequency range.
Co-located matched amplifiers are assembled in the 4mm X 4mm
QFN package. The low-cost, surface-mount, 16 terminal, plastic
package is RoHS compliant. The CDQ6004-QS is an ideal solution for
implementing balanced or push-pull designs. The amplifier can also
be used for dual-band operation where single-ended design is used
for each band. The amplifier has the flexibility of being optimized
for a number of wireless applications. The combination of low NF
and high IP3 at the same bias point make it an ideal transmit or
receive solution when used in applications including CATV
operating from 50 to 850 MHz, cellular and PCS (personal
communications service) operating from 0.8 to 2.2 GHz; MMDS
(multichannel multipoint distribution systems) operating from 2.2
to 2.7 GHz; and WLAN (wireless LAN) operation at 2.4 GHz. All
devices are 100% RF and DC tested.

Notes:
1. T = 25ºC, Frequency = 2 GHz, 50 Ohm system.
2. Each single ended amplifier is tested separately.
3. OIP3 is measured with two tones at output power of 5 dBm/tone separated by 10 MHz.
4. Slight performance degredation is expected over temperature.
