AL7 / SMAL7 Cascadable Amplifier 50 to 500 MHz Rev. V4 Features Product Image SYMMETRICAL CLIPPING: GOOD EVEN-ORDER SUPPRESSION HIGH GAIN: 13 dB (TYP.) LOW VSWR: < 1.5:1 (TYP.) FAST PULSE RECOVERY TIME: < 50 NSEC (TYP.) Description The AL7 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 output, 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. Ordering Information Part Number Package AL7 TO-8 SMAL7 Surface Mount CAL7 ** SMA Connectorized ** The connectorized version is not RoHs compliant.
