AH312 The Communications Edge TM 2 Watt, High Linearity InGaP HBT Amplifier Product Features Product Description • 400 – 2300 MHz Functional Diagram The AH312 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 narrowband-tuned application circuits with up to +49 dBm OIP3 and +33 dBm of compressed 1dB power. It is housed in an industry standard SOT-89 SMT package. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested. • +33 dBm P1dB • +51 dBm Output IP3 • 18 dB Gain @ 900 MHz • 11 dB Gain @ 1960 MHz • Single Positive Supply (+5V) • SOIC-8 SMT Package Applications • Final stage amplifiers for Repeaters • Mobile Infrastructure • Defense / Homeland Security The AH312 is targeted for use as a driver amplifier in wireless infrastructure where high linearity and medium power is required. An internal active bias allows the AH312 to maintain high linearity over temperature and operate directly off a single +5V supply. This combination makes the device an excellent candidate for transceiver line cards in current and next generation multi-carrier 3G base stations.

T = 25ºC, Vsupply = +5 V, Frequency = 2140 MHz, in tuned application circuit. 2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +17 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 1 A at P1dB.

ESD / MSL Information ESD Rating: Value: Test: Standard: Land Pattern Class 1B Passes between 500 and 1000V Human Body Model (HBM) JEDEC Standard JESD22-A114 MSL Rating: Level 3 at +240° C convection reflow Standard: JEDEC Standard J-STD-020A Mounting Config. Notes Parameter Rating Operating Case Temperature Thermal Resistance1, Rth Junction Temperature2, Tjc -40 to +85° C 17.5° C / W 155° C Notes: 1. The thermal resistance is referenced from the junctionto-case at a case temperature of 85° C. Tjc is a function of the voltage at pins 6 and 7 and the current applied to pins 6, 7, and 8 and can be calculated by: Tjc = Tcase + Rth * Vd * Id 2. This corresponds to the typical biasing condition of +5V, 800 mA at an 85° C case temperature. A minimum MTTF of 1 million hours is achieved for junction temperatures below 247° C. MTTF vs. GND Tab Temperature 100000 MTTF (million hrs) Thermal Specifications 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. 10000 1000 100 60 70 80 90 100 110 Tab Temperature (°C) 120 Specifications and information are subject to change without notice WJ Communications, Inc • Phone 1-800-WJ1-4401 • FAX: 408-577-6621 • e-mail: [email protected] • Web site: www.wj.com January 2004
