Product Features 25 4 MHz +41 dbm OIP3 3 db Noise Figure.5 db Gain +22 dbm P1dB Lead-free/Green/RoHS-compliant SOT-8 Package Single +5 V Supply MTTF > 1 years Applications Mobile Infrastructure CATV / DBS W-LAN / Wi-Bro / WiMAX RFID Defense / Homeland Security Fixed Wireless Product Description The AH1 is a high dynamic range amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package. The combination of low noise figure and high output IP3 at the same bias point makes it ideal for receiver and transmitter applications. The device combines dependable performance with superb quality to maintain MTTF values exceeding 1 years at mounting temperatures of +85 C. The AH1 is available in the environmentally-friendly lead-free/green/rohs-compliant SOT-8 package. The broadband amplifier uses a high reliability GaAs MMIC technology and is targeted for applications where high linearity is required. It is well suited for various current and next generation wireless technologies such as GPRS, GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA. In addition, the AH1 will work for other applications within the 25 to 4 MHz frequency range such as fixed wireless, W- LAN, and WiBro.

AH1-G (Green / Lead-free SOT-8 Package) Mechanical Information This package is lead-free/green/rohs-compliant. It is compatible with both lead-free (maximum 26 C reflow temperature) and leaded (maximum 245 C reflow temperature) soldering processes. The plating material on the leads is NiPdAu. Outline Drawing Product Marking AH1G XXXX-X The AH1-G will be marked with an AH1G designator. An alphanumeric lot code ( XXXX-X ) is also marked below the part designator on the top surface of the package. The obsolete tin-lead package is marked with an AH1 designator followed by an alphanumeric lot code. Tape and reel specifications for this part are located on the website in the Application Notes section. MSL / ESD Rating Land Pattern ESD Rating: Class 1B Value: Passes 5V to <1V Test: Human Body Model (HBM) Standard: JEDEC Standard JESD22-A4 ESD Rating: Class IV Value: Passes 1V to <2V Test: Charged Device Model (CDM) Standard: JEDEC Standard JESD22-C MSL Rating: Level 3 at +26 C convection reflow Standard: JEDEC Standard J-STD-2 Mounting Config. Notes 1. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a.35mm (#8 /.5 ) diameter drill and have a final plated thru diameter of.25 mm (.1 ). 2. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance. 3. Mounting screws can be added near the part to fasten the board to a heatsink. Ensure that the ground / thermal via region contacts the heatsink. 4. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PC board in the region where the board contacts the heatsink. 5. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and construction. 6. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum. 7. All dimensions are in millimeters (inches). Angles are in degrees.
