AM1 The Communications Edge TM Product Information High Dynamic Range Gain Block Product Features Product Description Functional Diagram x 60 – 3000 MHz x 14 dB Gain x 2.4 dB Noise Figure x +39 dBm OIP3 x Single +3.3 or +4.5 Supply x Internally matched to 50 : x Lead-free/Green/RoHScompliant SOT-89 Package x MTTF > 1000 years The AM1 is a general-purpose gain block that offers good dynamic range and low noise figure in a low-cost surfacemount package. The combination of near-constant OIP3 and low noise figure performance over frequency makes it attractive for both narrowband and broadband applications. The device combines dependable performance with superb quality to maintain MTTF values exceeding 1000 years at mounting temperatures of +85 qC and is available in the environmentally-friendly lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 package. GND x Mobile Infrastructure x CATV / DBS x W-LAN / ISM x RFID x Defense / Homeland Security x Fixed Wireless 1 2 3 RF IN GND RF OUT Function Input Output/Bias Ground The AM1 uses a high reliability GaAs MMIC technology and only requires DC-blocking and bypass capacitors, and an inductive RF choke for operation. Internal matching provides a 50 ohm input / output impedance minimizing the number of required external components. Applications Pin No. 1 3 2, 4 The broadband MMIC amplifier is well suited for various current and next generation wireless technologies such as GPRS, GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA. In addition, the AM1 will work for other applications within the 60 to 3000 MHz frequency range such as fixed wireless.

It is compatible with both lead-free (maximum 260 qC reflow temperature) and leaded (maximum 245 qC reflow temperature) soldering processes. The plating material on the leads is NiPdAu. Product Marking Outline Drawing The AM1-G will be marked with an “A1G” designator. An alphanumeric lot code (“XXXX-X” ) is also marked below the part designator on the top surface of the package. A “0 will be lasermarked in the upper righthand corner. The obsolete tin-lead package is marked with an “A1” designator followed by an alphanumeric lot code. Tape and reel specifications for this part are located on the website in the “Application Notes” section.

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.
