MOBILE CLASS C POWER AMPLIFIER 806 - 870 MHz 12.5 VOLTS INPUT/OUTPUT 50 OHMS POUT = 20 W MIN. GAIN = 19 dB MIN. ORDER CODE TSTM872-20 BRANDING TSTM872-20 PIN CONNECTION DESCRIPTION The TSTM872-20 module is designed for high power, high efficiency, analog private mobile radio systems in the 806 - 870 MHz frequency range. A significant advantage of this module is its high RF power output performance and very low standby current. 1. RF Input 2. 12.5 Vdc VS1 4. 12.5 Vdc VS3 5.

Nor should the module be operated continuously at any of the specified maximum ratings. If the module is to be subjected to one or more of the maximum rating conditions, care must be taken to monitor other parameters which may be affected. DECOUPLING Failure to properly decouple any of the voltage supply pins will result in oscillations at certain operating frequencies. Therefore, it is recommended that these pins be bypassed as indicated in the Module DC and Test Fixture Configuration drawing of this data sheet. MODULE MOUNTING To insure adequate thermal transfer from the module to the heatsink, it is recommended that a satisfactory thermal compound such as Dow Corning 340, Wakefield 120-2 or equivalent be applied between the module flange and the heatsink. The heatsink mounting surface under the module should be flat to within +/- 0.05 mm (+/- 0.002 inch). The module should be mounted to the heatsink using 3.5 mm (or 6-32) or equivalent screws torques to 5-6 kg-cm (4-6 in-lb). The module leads should be attached to equipment PC board using 180°C solder applied to the leads with a properly grounded soldering iron tip, not to exceed 195°C, applied a minimum of 2 mm (0.080”) from the body of the module for a duration not to exceed 15 seconds per lead. It is imperative that no other portion of the module, other than the leads, be subjected to temperatures in excess of 100°C (maximum storage temperature), for any period of time, as the plastic moulded cover, internal components and sealing adhesives may be adversely affected by such conditions. Due to the construction techniques and materials used within the module, reflow soldering of the flange heatsink or leads, is not recommended. TSTM872-20 PACKAGE MECHANICAL DATA Ref.: Dwg.
