Device Overview
General Description
The AMM-7199ASM is a surface-mount amplifier suitable for use as a single tone driver or general-purpose gain block. It can drive an L or H diode mixer from 11 to 38 GHz, or S diode mixer from 16 to 34 GHz. This amplifier also has low current draw under RF drive, exceptionally low input and output reflections, and excellent gain flatness in-band. The AMM-7199ASM is packaged in a compact 3mm QFN for surface mount integration onto printed circuit boards.

Port Functions
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground | Ground paddle and non-connected pins must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity, and low inductance. |  |
| Pin 11 | RF Output | Pin 11 is the RF output of the amplifier, and is matched to 50 ohms. It is internally DC blocked. |  |
| Pin 14 | Positive DC Supply Vd | Pins 14 provides +2.5V to +3V DC voltage to the amplifier’s third stage. Negative voltage must be supplied to Pin 6 before turning on the positive supply voltage. |  |
| Pin 15 | Positive DC Supply Vd | Pins 15 provides +2.5V to +3V DC voltage to the amplifier’s second stage. Negative voltage must be supplied to Pin 6 before turning on the positive supply voltage. | |
| Pin 16 | Positive DC Supply Vd | Pins 16 provides +2.5V to +3V DC voltage to the amplifier’s first stage. Negative voltage must be supplied to Pin 6 before turning on the positive supply voltage. | |
| Pin 2 | RF Input | Pin 2 is the RF input of the amplifier, and is matched to 50 ohms. It is internally DC blocked. |  |
| Pin 6 | Negative DC Supply Vg | Pin 6 provides -0.4V to -0.6V of DC voltage. This must be turned on before turning on the positive supply voltage to Pin 1. |  |
