FMAM86002

Overview

The FMAM86002 is a general-purpose RF amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates from DC to 17 MHz with a nominal gain of 30 dB. The device features SMA connectors and requires an operating supply voltage between 8 V and 15 V, drawing 45 mA. Key performance metrics include a 14 dBm P1dB output power and a third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 25 dBm.

Feature Summary

• DC coupled amplification capability for low-frequency signal processing
• High linear gain suitable for general-purpose RF applications
• Integrated SMA interface for standard connectivity

Applications

• Low-frequency signal conditioning in test equipment
• Baseband or intermediate frequency amplification stages
• General-purpose RF circuit prototyping

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with Fairview Microwave or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the SMA connector polarity and package type match the design requirements. Ensure supply voltage and current specifications align with the target system power budget to avoid operational issues.

Selection Notes

Select this component when DC-to-17 MHz amplification with high gain is required. The 30 dB gain and 25 dBm OIP3 make it suitable for applications needing significant signal boosting with moderate linearity. Verify that the SMA interface and 8-15 V supply range are compatible with the existing system architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairview Microwave RF Amplifier category, specifically within the Wireless & RF Integrated Circuits subcategory.
