Product Description
The AH201 is a 1-Watt driver amplifier that offers
excellent dynamic range in a low-cost, 6 x 6 mm 10-pin
QFN surface-mount package.
Biased at +11 V, this
device
provided
its
optimum
P1dB
and
OIP3
performance; it can be biased as low as +9 V for lower
power applications.
The backside metalization provides excellent thermal
dissipation while allowing visible evidence of solder
reflow across the bottom of the package on a SMT board.
Superior thermal design allows the product an MTTF of
over 100 years at a mounting temperature of +85 C. All
devices are 100% RF & DC tested.
The product is targeted for use as a driver amplifier for
wireless infrastructure or CATV applications where high
linearity and medium power is required.

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: 25C, Vdd = 11 V in a tuned application circuit.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +10 dBm/tone separated by 10 MHz. The
suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
3. IS-95, 9 Channels Forward, Pk/Avg Ratio = 11.5 dB at a .001% probability, ±885 kHz offset, 30
kHz bandwidth, Channel BW = 1.23 MHz.
