Product Description
The AH212 is a high dynamic range two-stage driver
amplifier in a low-cost surface mount package. The
InGaP/GaAs HBT is able to achieve superior performance
for various narrowband-tuned application circuits with up
to +46 dBm OIP3 and +30 dBm of compressed 1-dB
power. The amplifier is available in an industry-standard
SMT lead-free/ RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 or 4x5mm DFN
package. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.
The product is targeted for use as linear driver amplifier for
various current and next generation wireless technologies
such as GPRS, GSM, CDMA, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA,
and WiBro, where high linearity and high power is
required. The internal active bias allows the AH212 to
maintain high linearity over temperature and operate
directly off a +5 V supply.

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: 25 C, +5V, in tuned application circuit.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +15 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz. The
suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
