SOT-89 Package

Applications

Product Description

The AH101 is a medium power gain block that offers

excellent dynamic range in a low-cost surface mount

package. The combination of a single supply voltage and

an internally matched device makes it ideal for both narrow

and broadband applications. Only dc blocking and bypass

capacitors as well as an RF choke are required for operation.

Superior thermal design allows the product to achieve +46

dBm IP3 performance at a mounting temperature of +85

qC

with an associated MTTF of greater than 1000 years. The

AH101 is available in the environmentally-friendly lead-

free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 package.

The

broadband amplifier uses a high reliability GaAs MESFET

technology and is targeted for applications where high

linearity is required.

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: T = 25 ºC, Vdd = +9 V in a 50 ohm test fixture.

2. OIP3 is measured with two tones at an output power of +8 dBm/tone separated by 10 MHz. The

suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the OIP3 using a 2:1 rule.
