AM-160 Low Noise Amplifier, 28 dB Gain, 100 - 600 MHz Features Rev. V3 FP-9 • 1.6 dB Typical Midband Noise Figure • +19 dBm Typical 1 dB Compression Point • +30 dBm Typical Third Order Intercept Description M/A-COM’s AM-160 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 flatpack with flanges. Due to the metal flatpack the thermal rise is minimized. The ground plane on the PC board should be configured to remove heat from under the package. AM-160 is ideally suited for use where a high intercept, high reliability amplifier is required. Absolute Maximum Ratings 1 Parameter Absolute Maximum Max. Input Power +10 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.
