AM-/AMC-184 Cascadable Thin Film Amplifier, 20 dB Gain, 10 - 2000 MHz Features n n V 3.00 TO-8-1 20 dB High Gain 60 mA Maximum Low Power Description M/A-COM’s AM-184 is a feedback amplifier with high intercept and compression points. This amplifier is packaged in a TO-8 package. Due to the internal power dissipation the thermal rise should be minimized. The ground plane on the PC board should be configured to remove heat from under the package. AM-184 is ideally suited for use where a high intercept, high reliability amplifier is required. C-32 Absolute Maximum Ratings 1 Parameter Absolute Maximum Max Input Power +13 dBm Vbias +15.75 V Operating Temperature -55°C to +85°C Storage Temperature -65°C to +125°C 1. Operation of this device above any one of these parameters may cause permanent damage.
