NOTES:
uAqueous washable
* RAM models are hermetically sealed.
IIncreases below 1500 MHz.
# Dash-8 models input and output impedances are not 50 ohms, see S-parameter data.
Conditionally stable, source and load VSWR<3:1 required.
Dash-6 models conditionally stable, source and load VSWR<5:1 required.
JLow frequency cutoff determined by external coupling capacitors, except VNA-25
A. Environmental specifications and re-flow soldering information available in General Informa-
tion Section.
B1. Units are non-hermetic unless otherwise noted. Details on case dimensions & finishes in “Case
Styles & Outline Drawings”. Case styles VV105 or BBB123 available, consult factory.
C. Prices and Specifications subject to change without notice.
1. Minimum gain at highest frequency, except VAM-77, VAM-93 at 2 GHz. Full temperature
range, except room temperature for Dash-4 models.
2. Model number designated by alphanumeric code marking.
3. Frequency at which output power, NF and IP3 are specified:
500 MHz for MAR-1SM, MAR-6SM, RAM-1, RAM-6, MAV-11SM, VAM-6, 2 GHz for VAM-77, VAM-93,
1000 MHz for all other models.
4. Dash-6 models potentially unstable with very high VSWR terminations.
5. Thermal resistance θjc is from hottest junction in device to mounting surface of leads.
6. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. These ratings are not
intended for continuous normal operation.
7. Supply voltage must be connected to pin 3 through a bias resistor in order to prevent
damage. See "Biasing MMIC Amplifiers" in minicircuits.com/application.html. Reliability
predictions are applicable at specified current & normal operating conditions.
