ETC AH312

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.

Test conditions unless otherwise noted.
1. 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.

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 – 3000 MHz, with markers placed at 0.5 – 3.0 GHz in 0.5 GHz increments.

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.

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.
