Description
M/A-COM’s AM05-0006 is a coupler feedback amplifier
with high intercept and compression points. This device is
in a ceramic land grid array package. This package is
designed for standard surface mount pick and place. Due
to the ceramic package the thermal rise minimized. The
ground plane on the PC board should be configured to
remove heat from under the package. AM05-0006 is
ideally suited for use where a high intercept commercial
amplifier is required at a low cost.
