AM-/AMC-145 High Performance Amplifier, 11 dB Gain, 10 - 1000 MHz Features V 3.00 TO-8-1 n 2.5 dB Typical Midband Noise Figure n +19 dBm Typical Midband Output Power n +37 dBm Typical Midband Third Order Intercept Description M/A-COM’s AM-145 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-145 are ideally suited for use where a high intercept, high reliability amplifier is required. C-32 Absolute Maximum Ratings 1 Parameter Absolute Maximum Max.
