Product Description
Functional Diagram
The AM1 is a general-purpose gain block that offers
good dynamic range and low noise figure in a low-cost
surface-mount package. The combination of near-
constant OIP3 and low noise figure performance over
frequency makes it attractive for both narrowband and
broadband applications. The device combines dependable
performance with superb quality to maintain MTTF
values exceeding 1000 years at mounting temperatures of
+85 C and is available in the environmentally-friendly
lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 package.

The AM1 uses a high reliability GaAs MMIC technology
and only requires DC-blocking and bypass capacitors,
and an inductive RF choke for operation. Internal
matching provides a 50 ohm input / output impedance
minimizing the number of required external components.

The broadband MMIC amplifier is well suited for various
current and next generation wireless technologies such as
GPRS, GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA. In addition, the
AM1 will work for other applications within the 60 to
3000 MHz frequency range such as fixed wireless.

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: T = 25 ºC, 50  system.
2. OIP3 measured with two tones at an output power of +2 dBm/tone separated by 10 MHz. The
suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
3. Noise figure can be optimized by matching the input for optimal return loss.
4. Parameters reflect performance in an AM1-PCB application circuit, as shown on page 4.
5. Input return loss can be dramatically improved (<-20 dB) for narrowband applications as shown on
page 5 of this datasheet.
