AM-147-PIN

Overview

The AM-147-PIN is a general-purpose RF amplifier IC from MACOM Technology Solutions, designed for operation within the 3 MHz to 500 MHz frequency range. It utilizes silicon technology and features coupler feedback architecture to achieve high intercept and compression points. The device operates at a supply voltage of 15 V with a current consumption of 52 mA. Key performance metrics include a noise figure of 3.4 dB, a gain of 17 dB, a P1dB compression point of 20 dBm, and an OIP3 of 31 dBm. It supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and is housed in a TO-8-4 through-hole package.

Feature Summary

• Coupler feedback architecture ensures high linearity with elevated intercept and compression points.

Applications

• GPS signal processing systems
• Cascadable amplifier stages in RF front-ends
• General purpose wireless communication circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity and datasheet alignment prior to procurement. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required pin configuration and package variant. Ensure environmental compliance documentation corresponds to the manufacturing batch. Cross-reference electrical parameters against the latest official MACOM data sheet to validate performance expectations for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a broadband RF amplifier covering 3 MHz to 500 MHz is required with moderate gain and low noise characteristics. The TO-8-4 package facilitates through-hole mounting for prototyping or ruggedized designs. Consider the 15 V supply requirement and thermal management capabilities given the +125°C maximum operating temperature limit during system design integration.
