Description

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

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

3mm FQFP-N 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.
