AM-123 / AMC-123 High Performance Amplifier, 10 dB Gain 5 - 500 MHz Features Rev. V4 FP-7 • 3.5 dB Typical Midband Noise Figure • +42 dBm Typical Midband Intercept Description M/A-COM’s AM-123 is a coupler feedback amplifier with high intercept and compression points. The use of coupler feedback minimizes noise figure and current in a high intercept amplifier. This amplifier is packaged in a TO-8 package. Due to the internal power dissipation the thermal rise minimized. The ground plane on the PC board should be configured to remove heat from under the package AM-123 is ideally suited for use where a high intercept, high reliability amplifier is required. C-32 Absolute Maximum Ratings 1 Parameter Absolute Maximum Max. Input Power +23 dBm Vbias +15.75 V Operating Temperature -55°C to +85°C Storage Temperature -65°C to +125°C 1. Operation of this device above any one of these parameters may cause permanent damage. 1 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 • Europe Tel: +353.21.244.6400 is considering for development.
