AM-1163-2

Overview

The AM-1163-2 is a DC-coupled RF amplifier manufactured by Atlanta Micro Inc., designed for high dynamic range applications. It operates across a frequency range from 0 Hz to 10 GHz, providing a gain of 15 dB and a P1dB of 18 dBm. The device features a noise figure of 2.5 dB and requires a supply voltage between 2.7 V and 5.2 V, with a current consumption of 74 mA. It utilizes a strip package configuration suitable for surface mount assembly.

Feature Summary

• High dynamic range performance with moderate positive gain-slope characteristics
• DC-coupled operation supporting frequencies from 0 Hz to 10 GHz
• Miniature low noise design optimized for general purpose RF applications

Applications

• General purpose RF signal amplification
• GPS system signal processing
• Wideband communication infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type upon ordering, as sources indicate both strip packaging and potential variations. Confirm that the component meets the required DC-to-10 GHz specifications for your circuit design. Ensure supply voltage compatibility within the 2.7 V to 5.2 V range during integration. Cross-reference datasheet details for exact pinout and thermal requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth covering baseband to 10 GHz is required. The 15 dB gain and 18 dBm output power suit moderate drive applications. Consider the 74 mA current draw for power budgeting. The DC coupling allows for direct baseband signal handling without AC blocking capacitors.

Part Context

This part belongs to Atlanta Micro's line of miniature low-noise RF amplifiers. It shares functional similarities with the AM1063-1 but differs in packaging and specific electrical tolerances. The series focuses on compact solutions for high-frequency signal conditioning in modern electronic systems requiring broad spectral coverage.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing designs using direct parameter matching rather than assumed interchangeability.
