AM42-0055

AM42-0055 1 Watt/2 Watt S-Band Power Amplifier 2.2 - 2.4 GHz Features • High Linear Gain: 29 dB typ. • High Saturated Output Power: +33 dBm typ. • 50 Ohm Input/Output Broadband Matched Rev. V1 Outline Drawing 1 Description M/A-COM’s AM42-0055 is a two stage MMIC power amplifier in a bolt down ceramic package, allowing easy assembly. The AM42-0055 employs a fully matched chip with internally decoupled gate and grain bias networks. The AM42-0055 is designed to operate from a constant current drain supply or a constant voltage gate supply. By varying the bias conditions, the saturated output power performance of this device may be tailored for various applications. The AM42-0055 is ideally suited for use as an output stage in telemetry systems. The AM42-0055 includes internal supply line bypassing in the package, minimizing the number of external components required. M/A-COM’s AM42-0055 is fabricated using a mature 0.5micron MBE based GaAs MESFET process. The process features full passivation for increased performance and reliability. This product is 100% RF tested to ensure compliance to performance specifications. 1. Die available upon request (die size = 2970 x 2550 µm).
