AM-182-PIN

Overview

The AM-182-PIN is a high-gain resistive feedback amplifier manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates across a frequency range of 5MHz to 1GHz and is housed in a TO-8-1 package. The component features high intercept and compression points, making it suitable for broadband applications requiring stable amplification within the specified RF band.

Feature Summary

• High gain performance with resistive feedback topology
• Broadband operation covering 5MHz to 1GHz
• High intercept and compression points for signal integrity

Applications

• Wi-Fi systems
• WiMAX infrastructure
• Point-to-point radios
• Electronic warfare equipment
• Aerospace and defense communications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PIN indicates the TO-8-1 through-hole package configuration. Confirm that the device matches the high-gain feedback amplifier specifications from official MACOM documentation. Ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs regarding the 4-pin interface and thermal requirements associated with the metal can package.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, broadband RF amplifier is required for frequencies up to 1GHz. The TO-8-1 package offers a small form factor suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider its high intercept and compression characteristics for applications demanding robust signal handling without significant distortion.

Part Context

This part belongs to MACOM's portfolio of ultra-small broadband general-purpose amplifiers. It is designed for use in various wireless and communication technologies, including IMS and EW systems. The product line emphasizes high performance in a minimal footprint, catering to industrial and defense sectors.

Replacement Considerations

The AMC-182-SMA is a connectorized version of the same amplifier core, offering integrated SMA connectors instead of the discrete TO-8-1 package. Verify if the system requires the connectorized variant or the discrete component for board integration.
