Device Overview

General Description

The ADM-8622PC is a high-linearity low noise amplifier capable of providing 15 dB gain, 2.1 dB noise figure and +27 dBm OIP3 from 300 kHz to 10 GHz. The ADM-8622PC can serve either as a linear signal amplifier, or as a saturated driver amplifier for H- or S-diode mixers. The amplifier features excellent return losses, gain flatness and high dynamic range making it suitable for RF front-end applications. The size and low power consumption of the ADM-8622PC make it ideal for low SWaP applications.

Specifications

Absolute Maximum Ratings

The Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage may occur to the device. If any one of these limits are exceeded, the device may become inoperable or have a reduced lifetime. Reliability limits are individual, instantaneous catastrophic limits only. Functional operation limits are indicated below. Operation of the device at multiple absolute maximum limits or for extended periods at a single limit can cause degradation and damage to the device.
