The AMM-7210 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 22-57 GHz and S diode mixer from 25-50 GHz. The small die size allows it to be used in a variety of applications, and has built in DC-blocking capacitors on the input and output.

A port diagram of the AMM-7210UC is shown below.
| Port | Function | Connector Type | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground | - | Exterior housing must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity. | |
| RF In | RF Input | 1.85F | This is the RF Input port of the amplifier module. It is internally DC blocked and RF matched to 50 Ω. | |
| RF Out | RF Output | 1.85M | This is the RF Output port of the amplifier module. It is internally DC blocked and RF matched to 50 Ω. | |
| Vd | Drain Supply Pin | - | The Vd pin supplies drain voltage to the amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage Vg before applying drain voltage. | |
| Vg | Gate 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. |
