Description
M/A-COM’s AM50-0004 is a high dynamic range, GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a low cost, SOIC 8-lead, surface mount, plastic package. It employs external input matching to obtain optimum noise figure performance and operating frequency flexibility. The AM50-0004 also features flexible biasing to control the current consumption vs. dynamic range trade-off. The AM50-0004 can operate from any positive supply voltage in the 3 V to 8 V range. Its current can be controlled over a range of 20 mA to 60 mA with an external resistor.
