AH31-PCB170

AH31 High Dynamic Range IF Amplifier Product Information Product Features • • • • • • • • 50 – 1000 MHz ISO & EPC compliant 19 dB Gain +22 dBm P1dB +42 dBm OIP3 1.8 dB Noise Figure Single Voltage Supply (+5 V) MTTF > 100 years • SOT-89 SMT Package Product Description The AH31 is a high dynamic range amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package. Its robustness and ease of use make it an ideal candidate for the core of any RFID reader application. It is compliant with EPC and ISO standards. The combination of low noise figure, high Functional Diagram GND 4 gain, and high output IP3 is ideal as an IF amplifier for receiver and transmitter applications. The device combines dependable performance with consistent quality to maintain MTTF values exceeding 100 years at mounting temp eratures of +85° C and is housed in a SOT-89 industry-standard SMT package. The broadband MMIC amplifier can be directly applied to various current and next generation RFID technologies such as EPC, ISO, ETSI, and ANSI. Their small size makes them ideal for PCMCIA applications. 1 RF IN 2 GND 3 RF OUT Function Input Output/Bias Ground Pin No. 1 3 2, 4 Applications • RFID: HF, UHF, microwave • Readers • Industrial • Portable • Handheld Specifications Parameter Frequency Range Gain Input Return Loss Output Return Loss Output P1dB Output IP3 (2) Output IP3 Typical Performance Units Min MHz dB dB dB dBm dBm dBm dB V mA °C / W °C 50 Typ 240 19 15 17 +22 +42 Max 1000 Parameter Units Frequency S21 S11 S22 Output P1dB Output IP3 Noise Figure MHz dB dB dB dBm dBm dB 75 19 -25 -25 +22 +42 2.4 170 19 -13 -20 +22 +42 1.8 Typical 240 19 -15 -17 +22 +42 1.8 500 18 -15 -10 +22 +42 1.7 900 16.8 -14 -11 +21 +41 2.1 (50 Ω test fixture, 800, 810 MHz) +37 1.8 +5 150 Noise Figure Supply Voltage Operating Current Range Thermal Resistance Junction Temperature (3) Typical parameters reflect performance in an application circuit. 120 180 59 160 Test conditions unless otherwise noted. 1.
