+33 dBm P1dB
+49 dBm Output IP3
17 dB Gain @ 900 MHz
Single Positive Supply (+5 V)
SOIC-8 SMT Package
Product Description
The AH312 is a high dynamic range driver amplifier in a
low-cost surface mount package. The InGaP/GaAs HBT
is able to superior achieve performance over a broad
frequency range with +49 dBm OIP3 and +33 dBm of
1-dB compressed output power.
It is housed in an
industry standard SOIC-8 SMT package. All devices are
100% RF and DC tested.
The product is targeted for use as driver amplifier for
various current and next generation wireless technologies
such as GPRS, GSM, CDMA, W-CDMA, and UMTS,
where high linearity and high power is required.
The
internal active bias allows the AH312 to maintain high
linearity over temperature and operate directly off a +5 V
supply.

Test conditions unless otherwise noted. Specifications apply across entire frequency band.
1. T = 25C, Vsupply = +5 V, Frequency = 2140 MHz, in recommended application circuit
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +17 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz.
The suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
