Product Description

Functional Diagram

The AH102A is a medium power gain block that offers excellent dynamic range in a low-cost surface mount package. The combination of a single supply voltage and an internally matched device makes it ideal for both narrow and broadband applications.

GND

Superior thermal design allows the product to achieve +46 dBm IP3 performance at a mounting temperature of +85 °C with an associated MTTF of greater than 1000 years. The AH102A is available in the environmentally-friendly leadfree/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 package.

The broadband amplifier uses a high reliability GaAs MESFET technology and is targeted for applications where high linearity is required. It is well suited for various current and next generation wireless technologies such as GPRS, GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA. In addition, the AH102A will work for other applications within the 250 to 3000 MHz frequency range such as broadband wireless.

AH102A Medium Power, High Linearity Amplifier

AH102A-G (Green / Lead-free SOT-89 Package) Mechanical Information This package is lead-free/Green/RoHS-compliant. It is compatible with both lead-free (maximum 260 °C reflow temperature) and leaded (maximum 245 °C reflow temperature) soldering processes. The plating material on the leads is NiPdAu.

Outline Drawing

Product Marking The AH102A-G will be marked with a “102AG” designator and an alphanumeric lot code. The obsolete tin-lead package is marked with a “102A” designator with an alphanumeric lot code and a “0” on the right side of the device.

102AG XXXX-X

Tape and reel specifications for this part are located on the website in the “Application Notes” section.

Mounting Config. Notes 1. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a .35mm (#80 / .0135”) diameter drill and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010”). 2. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance. 3. Mounting screws can be added near the part to fasten the board to a heatsink. Ensure that the ground / thermal via region contact the heatsink. 4. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PC board in the region where the board contacts the heatsink. 5. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and construction. 6. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum. 7. All dimensions are in millimeters (inches). Angles are in degrees.
