Typical parameters reflect performance in an application circuit. 8. An IS-95 signal is used for 915 / 1960 MHz. A 3GPP W-CDMA signal is used for 2140 MHz. Test conditions unless otherwise noted. 1. T = 25ºC, Vdd1 = +4.5 V, Vdd2 = +9 V, Frequency = 800 MHz in a tuned application circuit. 2. The frequency of operation & bandwidth is determined by the external interstage match. 3. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +10 dBm/tone separated by 10 MHz. The suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule. 4. IS-95, 9 Channels Forward, Pk/Avg Ratio = 11.5 dB at a .001% probability ±750 kHz offset, 30 kHz BW, Channel BW = 1.23 MHz, frequency = 880 MHz. 5. The worst-case junction temperature for a given ground tab temperature can be calculated by multiplying the thermal resistance with the total package power dissipation and adding it to the tab temperature. ie. At 85°C case temperature for a typical device, the worst-case junction temperature would be = 85°C + (9 V * 0.2 A + 4.5 V * 0.075 A) = 129°C. 6. The junction temperature ensures a minimum MTTF rating of 1 million hours of usage.

D1 = 0.620” to C2 (for use with AH103-PCB1750) The 2.0 pF input tuning capacitor is placed .045” to the left of “C2” shown on the silk screen. The shunt capacitor is placed directly on the right and adjacent to the input blocking capacitor C1. b. D1 = 0.450” to C3 (for use with AH103-PCB1900) c. D1 = 0.310” to C4 (for use with AH103-PCB2140) 3. A voltage regulator is used in this circuit (U2) to drop the +9 V to a +5 V usable supply for the first internal amplifier. It is permissible to remove the regulator and operate the 1st amplifier stage directly off of +5 V supply onto Test Point 1 (TP1). The use of a +5 V supply on the 1st amplifier stage requires a dropping resistor of 6.8 Ω. 4. A +4.5 V supply can also be used to bypass the 6.8 Ω and can be applied to Test Point 2 (TP2). Ref.
