AM-/AMC-151 Cascadable Thin Film Amplifier, 12 dB Gain, 5 - 500 MHz Features n n n V 3.00 TO-8-1 5 dB Typical Midband Noise Figure +38 dBm Typical Midband Third Order Intercept +21 dBm Typical Midband 1 dB Compression Description M/A-COM’s AM-151 is a coupler feedback amplifier with high intercept and compression points. The use of coupler feedback minimizes noise figure and current in a high intercept amplifier. This amplifier is packaged in a TO-8 package. Due to the internal power dissipation the thermal rise minimized. The ground plane on the PC board should be configured to remove heat from under the package. AM-151 is ideally suited for use where a high intercept, high reliability amplifier is required. C-32 Absolute Maximum Ratings 1 Parameter Absolute Maximum Max.
