Device Overview

General Description

The AMM-9862PSM is a wideband gain block capable of providing 10 dB gain and +23 dBm OIP3 with a low 3.4 dB typical noise figure. The AMM-9862PSM is an ideal linear signal amplifier for applications requiring low gain, low power consumption and small form-factors. This amplifier has exceptionally flat response across its entire operating bandwidth.

Port Functions

PortFunctionDescriptionDC Equivalent
Circuit
PaddleGround DC and RF Ground are provided through the QFN paddle. The paddle should be attached to a DC/RF ground with high thermal and electrical conductivity.Equivalent circuit for the Ground
Pin 11Vd This is the positive DC supply voltage for the amplifier IC. This pin is nominally set to +5V. This part requires an off-chip bypass capacitor of 0.1uF installed at this pin as close to the IC as possible. See applications circuit.Equivalent circuit for the Vd
Pin 2RF Input This is the amplifiers RF input port. This port is internally matched to 50 Ohms and is internally DC shorted to GND. This pin may be left floating if no DC is present on the line but should be DC blocked otherwise.Equivalent circuit for the RF Input
Pin 5Vg This is the negative DC bias voltage for the amplifier IC. The voltage at this pin controls the current draw Id of the part. Higher voltage results in higher current. For normal operation, the voltage at this pin is adjusted to produce an Id of 34mA when Vd=5V. This part requires an off-chip bypass capacitor in series with a 10 Ohm resistor installed at this pin as close to the IC as possible. See applications circuit.Equivalent circuit for the Vg
Pin 8RF Output This is the amplifiers RF output port. This port is internally matched to 50 Ohms and is internally DC shorted to GND. This pin may be left floating if no DC is present on the line but should be DC blocked otherwise.Equivalent circuit for the RF Output
Pins 1,3,4,6,7,9,10 and 12Non-connect (NC) These pins are not internally connected. Datasheet performance is measured with these pins connected to ground.-

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.
