Product Description
Functional Diagram
The AH1 is a high dynamic range amplifier in a low-cost
surface-mount package. The combination of low noise
figure and high output IP3 at the same bias point makes it
ideal for receiver and transmitter applications. The device
combines dependable performance with superb quality to
maintain MTTF values exceeding 100 years at mounting
temperatures of +85 qC. The AH1 is available in the
environmentally-friendly lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant
SOT-89 package.
GND
The broadband amplifier uses a high reliability GaAs
MMIC technology and is targeted for applications where
high linearity is required. It is well suited for various
current and next generation wireless technologies such as
GPRS, GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA. In addition, the
AH1 will work for other applications within the 250 to
4000 MHz frequency range such as fixed wireless, WLAN, and WiBro.

AH1
High Dynamic Range Amplifier
AH1-G (Green / Lead-free SOT-89 Package) Mechanical Information
This package is lead-free/Green/RoHS-compliant. It is compatible with both lead-free (maximum 260 qC reflow temperature) and leaded
(maximum 245 qC reflow temperature) soldering processes. The plating material on the leads is NiPdAu.
Product Marking
Outline Drawing
The AH1-G will be marked with an “AH1G”
designator.
An alphanumeric lot code
(“XXXX-X”) is also marked below the part
designator on the top surface of the package.
The obsolete tin-lead package is marked with
an “AH1” designator followed by an
alphanumeric lot code.
Tape and reel specifications for this part are
located on the website in the “Application
Notes” section.

1. The thermal resistance is referenced from the hottest
part of the junction to the ground tab (pin 4).
2. This corresponds to the typical biasing condition of
+5V, 150 mA at an 85 qC case temperature. A
minimum MTTF of 1 million hours is achieved for
junction temperatures below 160 qC.

Thermal Specifications
1. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of
this device. Vias should use a .35mm (#80 / .0135”) diameter
drill and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010”).
2. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near
the part to ensure optimal thermal performance.
3. Mounting screws can be added near the part to fasten the board
to a heatsink. Ensure that the ground / thermal via region
contacts the heatsink.
4. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PC board in the
region where the board contacts the heatsink.
5. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and
construction.
6. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum.
7. All dimensions are in millimeters (inches). Angles are in
degrees.
