Description
M/A-COM’s AM55-0016 is a high dynamic range, switchable low noise amplifier in a low cost, MSOP 8-lead, surface mount, plastic package. The design utilizes a patented switching technique to provide a low insertion loss, high input IP3 bypass state in parallel with the high gain, low noise state. The LNA employs external input matching to obtain optimum noise figure performance and operating frequency flexibility. The AM55-0016 also features flexible biasing to control the current consumption vs. dynamic range trade-off. Its current can be controlled over a range of 10 mA to 30 mA with an external resistor.
