AH101 Medium Power, High Linearity Amplifier Applications Mobile Infrastructure CATV / DBS Defense / Homeland Security AH 10 1 SOT-89 Package Product Features Functional Block Diagram GND 50 - 1500 MHz +47 dBm Output IP3 13.5 dB Gain +26.5 dBm P1dB MTTF > 1000 Years Internally Matched Single +9 V Supply Lead-free/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 Package 4 General Description 1 2 3 RF IN GND RF OUT Pin Configuration The AH101 is a medium power gain block that offers excellent dynamic range in a low-cost surface mount package. The combination of a single supply voltage and an internally matched device makes it ideal for both narrow and broadband applications. Only dc blocking and bypass capacitors as well as an RF choke are required for operation. Pin # Function Label 1 3 2, 4 RF IN RF OUT GND Superior thermal design allows the product to achieve +46 dBm IP3 performance at a mounting temperature of +85C with an associated MTTF of greater than 1000 years. The AH101 is available in the environmentally-friendly green/RoHS-compliant SOT89 package. The broadband amplifier uses a high reliability GaAs MESFET technology and is targeted for applications where high linearity is required. Ordering Information Part No. Description AH101-G Med.

The amplifier should be connected directly to a +9 V regulator; no dropping resistor is required. If no DC signal is present at the input (pin 1), C1 can be removed. The gate (input pin) is internally grounded in the amplifier. R1, C2, and L1 are used as placeholders for a different device on the same PCB layout. They are not needed for the AH101. Component sizes are 0603 unless otherwise noted. For higher frequencies of operation, use a lower value L2 inductor.

Angles are in degrees. Notes: 1. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a .35mm (#80 / .0135") diameter drill and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010"). 2. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance. 3. Mounting screws can be added near the part to fasten the board to a heatsink. Ensure that the ground / thermal via region contacts the heatsink. 4. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PC board in the region where the board contacts the heatsink. 5. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and construction. 6. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum.
