LA17

LA17 / SMLA17 Cascadable Amplifier 10 to 1000 MHz Features • SYMMETRICAL CLIPPING: GOOD EVEN-ORDER SUPPRESSION • MEDIUM OUTPUT LEVEL: +10 dBm (TYP.) • HIGH THIRD-ORDER INTERCEPT POINT: +28 dBm (TYP.) • FAST PULSE RECOVERY TIME: < 50 NSEC Rev. V2 Product Image Description The LA17 limiting amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which uses thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and high reliability. This design uses a Schottky diode limiter circuit at the input, and a single stage bipolar transistor feedback amplifier at the output. An RF choke is used for DC power supply decoupling. Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.
