AM143438WM-XX-R

AMCOM’s AM143438WM-BM-R and AM143438WM-FM-R are part of the GaAs HiFET MMIC power amplifier series. These high efficiency MMICs are 2-stage GaAs pHEMT power amplifiers biased at 10 - 14V. The input and inter-stage matching networks cover 1.4 to 3.4GHz. These MMICs require output external matching to your band of interest between 1.4GHz to 3.4 GHz to provide maximum bandwidth flexibility. As an example, one of the available evaluation boards has over 20 dB gain, 38dBm saturated output power over the 1.5 to 1.8GHz band at 12V. The other evaluation board at 2.0 to 3.0 GHz achieved 19dB gain and 38dBm output power at 12V. The BM package RF and DC leads are coplanar with the bottom level of the package, which serves as ground, to facilitate low-cost SMT assembly to the PC board. Because of high DC power dissipation, we strongly recommend to mount this device directly on a metal heat sink. The FM package is the BM package mounted on a copper flange carrier. There are two screw holes on the flange to facilitate screwing on to a metal heat sink. Both MMICs are RoHS compliant.
