Device Overview

General Description

The AMM-7200 is a general-purpose broadband MMIC driver amplifier that provides +21 dBm output power suitable for driving a Marki H or L diode mixer at 12-46 GHz and S diode mixer from 14-40 GHz. The amplifier also has excellent return losses and a small die size which allows it to be used in a variety of applications. It has built in DC-blocking capacitors on the input and output.

Circuit
GNDGround -Exterior housing must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity.Equivalent circuit for the Ground
RF InRF Input 2.4FThis is the RF Input port of the amplifier module. It is internally DC blocked and RF matched to 50 Ω.Equivalent circuit for the RF Input
RF OutRF Output 2.4MThis is the RF Output port of the amplifier module. It is internally DC blocked and RF matched to 50 Ω.Equivalent circuit for the RF Output
VdDrain Supply Pin -The Vd pin supplies drain voltage to the amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage Vg before applying drain voltage.Equivalent circuit for the Drain Supply Pin
VgGate Bias Pin -The Vg pin supplies negative control voltage to the amplifier and controls the amplifier gain. Lower (more negative) voltages on a Vg pad will result in lower drain current and lower small signal gain.Equivalent circuit for the Gate Bias Pin
