AMMC-5024-W50

RF Amplifiers Overview

The AMMC-5024-W50 is a GaAs MMIC traveling-wave amplifier (TWA) from Broadcom Limited, designed for broadband applications spanning 30 kHz to 40 GHz. It utilizes PHEMT technology to deliver high gain and medium output power across the entire frequency range. The device operates with a supply voltage of 10 V and draws 385 mA. Key electrical parameters include a typical gain of 16 dB, a noise figure of 4.6 dB, and an input return loss of 16.9 dB. It features a P1dB compression point of 22.5 dBm and an OIP3 of 30 dBm. The component is available in a die package format.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to limited availability. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation. Check for obsolescence notices as the lifecycle status may indicate end-of-life conditions. Ensure handling procedures match bare die requirements for SMD/SMT integration.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-stage solution is required for ultra-wideband coverage up to 40 GHz. Consider the 10 V supply requirement and thermal management needs for the die package. Evaluate if the 16 dB gain and 4.6 dB noise figure meet system sensitivity specifications compared to alternative MMICs.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the AMMC series of radio frequency amplifiers manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It represents a specialized GaAs MMIC solution distinct from silicon-based alternatives like the AMMC-6420. The W50 suffix typically denotes specific packaging or grading variations within the broader AMMC-5024 family.
