AMMC-6232-W10

RF Amplifiers Overview

The AMMC-6232-W10 is a low noise amplifier (LNA) from the Broadcom AMMC series, designed for operation within the 18 GHz to 32 GHz frequency range. Constructed using GaAs MMIC technology, this single-channel device provides a typical gain of 24.6 dB with a noise figure of 4 dB. It operates on a 4 V supply voltage and draws 135 mA of current. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 20 dBm, an OIP3 of 27 dBm, input return loss of 10 dB, and isolation of 50 dB. The component is housed in a module package suitable for surface mount applications.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to end-of-life status. Confirm RoHS compliance details via official documentation before integration. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid traceability records. Check for product change notices that may affect specifications. Validate packaging integrity upon receipt to prevent damage to the sensitive module.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a GaAs-based LNA is required for the 18-32 GHz spectrum. Consider the 4 V supply requirement and 135 mA current draw for power budgeting. Evaluate the 4 dB noise figure against system sensitivity needs. Compare the 24.6 dB gain and 20 dBm P1dB against link budget requirements. Assess the module package format for PCB layout compatibility.
