Product Description
The AH110 is a high dynamic range driver amplifier in a
low-cost surface mount package. Its robustness and ease
of use make it an ideal candidate for the core of any RFID
reader application.
It is compliant with EPC and ISO
standards.
The InGaP/GaAs HBT is able to achieve
performance over a broad range with +39 dBm OIP3 and
+23 dBm of compressed 1-dB power and is housed in an
industry standard SOT-89 SMT package. All devices are
100% RF and DC tested.
The broadband MMIC amplifier can be directly applied
to various current and next generation RFID technologies
such as EPC, ISO, ETSI, and ANSI. Their small size
makes them ideal for PCMCIA applications..

Test conditions unless otherwise noted.
1. T = 25C, Vsupply = 8 V, Frequency = 900 and 1900 MHz, in recommended app circuit.
2. 3OIP is measured with two tones at an output power of 9 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz.
The suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
