AH3

AH3 • • • • • • The Communications Edge TM Product Information High Dynamic Range Gain Block Product Features 50 – 870 MHz +41 dBm OIP3 3 dB Noise Figure 13 dB Gain +20 dBm P1dB Lead-free/Green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 Package • Single +5 V Supply • MTTF > 100 years Product Description The AH3 is a high dynamic range amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package. The combination of low noise figure and high output IP3 at the same bias point makes it ideal for receiver and transmitter applications. The device combines dependable performance with superb quality to maintain MTTF values exceeding 100 years at mounting temperatures of +85 °C. The AH3 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. In addition, the AH3 is internally matched for 50 ohms.

Parameters reflect performance in an AH3WB-PCB application circuit, as shown on page 3. 1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: T = 25 ºC, 50 Ω system. 2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +5 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.
