Description

M/A-COM’s AM50-0012 is a high dynamic range,

GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a low-cost small

footprint 3 mm 12-lead PQFN package. It employs

external matching to obtain optimum noise figure

and intercept performance.

The AM50-0012 is

operated with a supply voltage of +5V.

The AM50-0012 is ideally suited for use where low

noise figure, high gain, and high dynamic range are

required.

Typical applications included receiver

front ends in TDMA, CDMA, and DCS base stations.

It may also be used as an IF amplifier in certain

other communication systems.

The AM50-0012 is fabricated using a low-cost 0.5-

micron gate E-D SAGFET GaAs process.

This

process features full passivation for increased

reliability.

The AM50-0012 is 100% RF tested to

ensure performance specification compliance.
