NOTES:

I Increases below 1500 MHz.

*

RAM models are hermetically sealed.

z

Max. Voltage 7V (DC power at pin 1).

**

Typical gain at 1500 MHz

v

Price of RAM models is for 1-9 quantity.

#

Dash-8 models input and output impedances are not 50 ohms, see S-parameter

data. Conditionally stable, source and load VSWR<3:1 required.

Dash-6 models conditionally stable, source and load VSWR<5:1 required.

J

Low frequency cutoff determined by external coupling capacitors.

i

Specification at 500 MHz.

ii Specification at 2500 MHz.

A.

Environmental specifications and re-flow soldering information available in General

Information Section.

B.

Units are non-hermetic unless otherwise noted. For details on case dimensions &

finishes see “Case Styles & Outline Drawings”.

C.

Prices and Specifications subject to change without notice.

1.

Minimum gain at highest frequency. Full temperature range, except room tempera-

ture for Dash-4 and Dash-5 models.

2.

Model number designated by color dot or alphanumeric code marking.

3.

Frequency at which output power, NF and IP3 are specified:

500 MHz for MAR-1SM, MAR-6SM, RAM-1, RAM-6, MAV-11SM, VAM-6,

1000 MHz for all other models.

4.

Dash-5 and Dash-6 models potentially unstable with very high VSWR terminations.

5.

Minimum output at 1 dB compression: +16.0 dBm for MAV-5SM at room temperature.

6.

Thermal resistance

θjc is from hottest junction in the device to the mounting surface of

the leads.

7.

Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded.
