Description

M/A-COM’s AM-176 is a fe edback amplifier with high

intercept and compression points. This amplifier is

packaged in a TO-8 package. Due to the internal

power dissipation the thermal rise should be

minimized. The ground plane on the PC board

should be configured to remove heat from under the

package. AM-176 is ideally suited for use where a

high intercept, high reliability amplifier is requi red.
