AM-1063-2

Overview

The AM-1063-2 is a general-purpose RF amplifier IC from Atlanta Micro Inc., operating from 0Hz to 10GHz. It features a gain of 15dB and a P1dB of 18dBm with a noise figure of 2.5dB. Powered by 2.7V to 5.2V, it draws 74mA. The component is housed in a compact 6-DFN (1.3x2mm) package with a bare pad for surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Operates as a general-purpose RF amplifier across a wide DC to 10GHz frequency range
• Provides high linearity performance with an output power of 18dBm at the 1dB compression point
• Utilizes a miniature 6-DFN package design suitable for space-constrained applications

Applications

• GPS signal processing systems
• General RF front-end amplification
• Wireless communication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as listings may reference both Mercury Systems and Atlanta Micro. Confirm the specific package variant matches the 6-DFN requirement. Ensure RoHS3 compliance documentation is available for regulatory adherence. Cross-reference part numbers to avoid confusion with similar gain block models.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a broad bandwidth covering DC to 10GHz is required within a minimal footprint. The 15dB gain and low noise figure make it suitable for sensitive receiver stages. Consider the 74mA current consumption against system power budgets. The bare pad design aids in thermal management for continuous operation.
