Description

M/A-COM’s AM-160 is a coupler feedback amplifier

with high intercept and compression points. The use

of coupler feedback minimizes noise figure and

current in a high intercept amplifier. This amplifier is

packaged in a flatpack with flanges. Due to the metal

flatpack the thermal rise is minimized. The ground

plane on the PC board should be configured to

remove heat from under the package. AM-160 is

ideally suited for use where a high intercept, high

reliability amplifier is required.

2. All specifications apply when operated at +15 VDC, with 50 ohms source and load impedance.

3. Heat Sinking: Operation at case temperature above 95°C is not recommended. Heat sinking adequate to dissipate 1.2 W must be pro-

vided in use.
