Description
M/A-COM’s AM-123 and AM-131 are coupler feedback
amplifier’s with high intercept and compression points. The
use of coupler feedback minimizes noise figure and current
in a high intercept amplifier. This amplifier is packaged in a
TO-8 package. Due to the internal power dissipation the
thermal rise minimized. The ground plane on the PC board
should be configured to remove heat from under the package AM-123 and AM-131 are ideally suited for use where a
high intercept, high reliability amplifier is required.

1. All specifications apply when operated at +15 VDC, with 50 ohms source and load impedance.
2. Heat Sinking: Operation at case temperature above 95°C is not recommended. Heat sinking adequate to dissipate 1W must be
provided in use.
