AM1065

Overview

The AM1065 is a high dynamic range, bypassable DC-coupled RF amplifier manufactured by Atlanta Micro Inc. It operates from 0 Hz to 8 GHz and features a VFCQFN-24 package (3.9x3.9 mm). Key electrical parameters include a gain of 20 dB, a noise figure of 2 dB, and a P1dB of 18 dBm. The device requires a supply voltage of 3V to 5.2V and draws 72 mA of current. It supports surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• High dynamic range performance with low bypass insertion loss
• DC-coupled architecture supporting frequencies down to 0 Hz
• Bypassable design for flexible circuit integration

Applications

• GPS signal processing
• General purpose RF amplification
• Space-constrained electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct package variant and temperature rating. Confirm that the VFCQFN-24 footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Check for any recent revisions in the product documentation that may affect pinout or electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband DC-coupled amplifier is required up to 8 GHz. The 20 dB gain and 2 dB noise figure suit applications needing moderate amplification with low noise. Consider the bypassable feature if power management or signal isolation is needed. Ensure the 72 mA supply current fits within your system's power budget.

Part Context

The AM1065 belongs to Atlanta Micro Inc.'s RF amplifier portfolio, designed for high-performance wireless communications. It complements other broadband amplifiers in the series by offering DC coupling and bypass functionality. The compact VFCQFN-24 package allows for dense PCB layouts in modern mobile and GPS devices.
