AH1 High Dynamic Range Amplifier Product Features x 250 – 4000 MHz x +41 dBm OIP3 x 3 dB Noise Figure x 13.5 dB Gain x +22 dBm P1dB x Lead-free/Green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 Package x Single +5 V Supply x MTTF > 100 years 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.

Notes Parameter Operating Case Temperature Thermal Resistance, Rth (1) Junction Temperature, Tj (2) Rating -40 to +85 qC 59 qC / W 129 qC 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. MTTF vs. GND Tab Temperature 1000 MTTF (million hrs) 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. 100 10 1 60 70 80 90 100 Tab Temperature (°C) 110 Specifications and information are subject to change without notice.
