Description
M/A-COM’s AM50-0006 is a high dynamic range,
GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a
SOT-26 surface mount plastic package.
It employs external input matching to obtain
optimum noise figure performance and operating
frequency flexibility.
The AM50-0006 also features flexible biasing to
control the current consumption vs. dynamic range
trade-off. The AM50-0006 can operate from any
positive supply voltage in the 3 V to 8 V range. Its
current can be controlled over a range of 3 mA to 20
mA with an external resistor.
The AM50-0006 is ideally suited for use where low
noise figure, high gain, high dynamic range, and low
power consumption are required. Typical
applications included receiver front ends in PDC-
1500, DCS-1800, DCS-1900 and other PCN/PCS
applications. It is also useful as a gain block, buffer,
driver, and IF amplifier in both fixed or portable PDC,
PHS, and PCN/PCS systems.
The AM50-0006 is fabricated using a low-cost
0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The process
features full passivation for increased performance
and reliability. The AM50-0006 is 100% RF tested
to ensure performance specification
compliance.
