Description
M/A-COM’s AM55-0016 is a high dynamic range,
switchable low noise amplifier in a low cost, MSOP
8-lead, surface mount, plastic package. The design
utilizes a patented switching technique to provide a
low insertion loss, high input IP₃ bypass state in
parallel with the high gain, low noise state.
The LNA employs external input matching to obtain
optimum noise figure performance and operating
frequency flexibility. The AM55-0016 also features
flexible biasing to control the current consumption
vs. dynamic range trade-off. It’s current can be
controlled over a range of 10 mA to 30 mA with an
external resistor.
Typical applications include receiver front ends in
cellular band CDMA handsets. It is also useful as a
switched gain block, buffer or driver in portable
cellular systems.
The AM55-0016 is fabricated using a low-cost 0.5-
micron gate length GaAs MESFET process. The
process features full passivation for increased
performance and reliability.
