• Operates in the 300 MHz to 1 GHz frequency band
• Utilizes TO-8-1 hermetic metal package

Applications

• General purpose RF signal amplification
• Broadband communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version and revision history before integration, as specifications may vary between manufacturing lots. Confirm that the TO-8-1 pinout matches the target circuit board layout. Ensure thermal management strategies align with the component's power dissipation limits under continuous operation conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, hermetically sealed amplifier is required for frequencies between 300 MHz and 1 GHz. The TO-8-1 package offers environmental protection suitable for demanding industrial or defense environments. Evaluate noise figure and gain flatness requirements against specific application needs to ensure compatibility with system performance targets.

Part Context

This part belongs to MACOM's portfolio of discrete RF amplifiers. It serves as a fundamental building block for analog front-end circuits. The TO-8-1 package distinguishes it from surface-mount alternatives, providing mechanical stability and shielding benefits for sensitive RF stages in legacy or high-reliability designs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official MACOM documentation for direct cross-reference data. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters such as gain and noise figure if substituting with other TO-8 packages. No public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided source material.
