Description

M/A-COM’s AM50-0003 is a high dynamic range, GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a low cost, SOIC 8-Lead, surface mount, plastic package. It employs e x t e r n a l i n p u t m a t c h i n g t o o b t a in optimum noise figure performance and operating frequency flexibility. The AM50-0003 also features flexible biasing to control the current consumption vs. dynamic range trade-off. The AM50-0003 can operate from any supply voltage in the 3V to 8V range. Its current can be controlled over a range of 20 mA to 80 mA with an external resistor.
