AM-176 / AMC-176 Cascadable Thin Film Amplifier, 13 dB Gain, 5 - 1000 MHz Rev. V4 Features TO-8-1 • 4.0 dB Typical Noise Figure • 13.5 dBm Typical Midband 1 dB Compression • 1.25:1 Typical VSWR Description M/A-COM’s AM-176 is a feedback amplifier with high intercept and compression points. This amplifier is packaged in a TO-8 package. Due to the internal power dissipation the thermal rise should be minimized. The ground plane on the PC board should be configured to remove heat from under the package. AM-176 is ideally suited for use where a high intercept, high reliability amplifier is required.
