Description
M/A-COM’s AM-160 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 flatpack
with flanges. Due to the metal flatpack the thermal rise is
minimized. The ground plane on the PC board should be
configured to remove heat from under the package.
AM-160 is ideally suited for use where a high intercept,
high reliability amplifier is required.

2. All specifications apply when operated at +15 VDC, with 50 ohms source and load impedance.
3. Heat Sinking: Operation at case temperature above 95°C is not recommended. Heat sinking adequate to dissipate 1.2 W must
be provided in use.
