ASC2860

RF Amplifiers Overview

The ASC2860 is a general-purpose RF amplifier IC from Amplifier Solutions Corp., designed for signal amplification within the 30 MHz to 500 MHz frequency range. It delivers a typical power gain of 23 dB and an output power of 18.0 dBm. The device features a low noise figure of 1.0 dB, ensuring high sensitivity in receiver applications. This cascadable amplifier offers super linearity and high reverse isolation, making it suitable for low-to-medium output power requirements.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Provides super linearity and high reverse isolation for precise signal processing
• Features a cascadable architecture allowing for flexible system integration
• Delivers low noise performance with a 1.0 dB noise figure

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Signal amplification in communication systems
• Low-noise front-end stages in receivers
• General purpose RF signal conditioning

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct package type and temperature rating. Confirm that the intended operating frequency aligns with the 30-500 MHz specification. Request the latest revision document directly from Amplifier Solutions Corp. or authorized distributors to validate electrical parameters such as gain flatness and output power before finalizing procurement.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when application requirements prioritize low noise figure and high linearity over high output power. The 18.0 dBm output capability suits low-to-medium power scenarios. Consider the cascadable nature if higher overall gain is needed by stacking multiple units. Ensure the operating environment supports the specified frequency range without external filtering constraints.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

The ASC2860 belongs to Amplifier Solutions Corp.'s portfolio of RF amplifiers characterized by super linearity and low noise. Unlike high-power variants, this model focuses on precision amplification within the VHF/UHF bands. It complements other series like the ASC520 by offering specialized performance for sensitive reception and linear signal paths rather than wideband ultra-linear coverage up to 1200 MHz.
