A3010 Cascadable Amplifier 10 kHz to 2500 MHz Rev. V4 Features • • • • • Product Image GAIN: 9.5 dB (TYP.) DC COUPLING REQUIRED* +/- 1 dB GAIN FLATNESS HIGH DRIVER OUTPUT LEVEL: +18 dBm INPUT/OUTPUT MATCH: < 2.0:1 (TYP.) Description The A3010 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which uses thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and high reliability. This single stage GaAs FET feedback amplifier design displays impressive performance characteristics over a broadband frequency range. An RF choke is used for DC power supply decoupling. A voltage sequencing circuit can be used to ensure the negative voltage (-5.2 Vdc) is turned on first and turned off last during normal operation. Reference the application circuit on page 2. The TO-8 package is hermetically sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.
