AM-119-PIN

Overview

The AM-119-PIN is a general-purpose silicon RF amplifier manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 30 MHz to 250 MHz. Key electrical specifications include a noise figure of 2.3 dB, a gain of 8.5 dB, and a P1dB output power of 23 dBm. The device utilizes coupler feedback technology to minimize noise figure and current consumption while maintaining high intercept and compression points. It is housed in a TO-8-1 package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes coupler feedback architecture to minimize noise figure and current consumption
• Designed for general-purpose RF amplification applications
• Features high intercept and compression points for robust signal handling

Applications

• General purpose RF amplification
• Wireless communication systems
• RF integrated circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as sources list both MACOM and Aeroflex (MACOM Technology Solutions). Confirm the exact package type is TO-8-1 and that the component status is active. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required pin configuration and that the datasheet aligns with the stated 30-250 MHz operational range before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-noise, general-purpose silicon amplifier is required for frequencies between 30 MHz and 250 MHz. The choice is driven by its 2.3 dB noise figure and 8.5 dB gain characteristics. Consider the TO-8-1 hermetic package if environmental sealing is necessary. Evaluate the 23 dBm P1dB specification against system linearity requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the M/A-COM family of coupler feedback amplifiers. These devices are engineered to provide superior performance in wireless and RF applications by balancing noise performance with power handling capabilities. The AM-119 series represents a specific implementation using silicon technology for cost-effective general-purpose amplification.
