Product Description
The AH128 is a high dynamic range driver amplifier in a
low-cost surface mount package. The InGaP/GaAs HBT is
able to achieve high performance across a broad range with
+41.5 dBm OIP3 and +24.6 dBm of compressed 1dB
power while drawing 115 mA current. The AH128 is
available in a lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOT-89
package. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.
The AH128 is targeted for use as a driver amplifier in
wireless infrastructure where high linearity, medium power,
and high efficiency are required. Internal biasing allows
the AH128 to maintain high linearity over temperature and
operate directly off a single +5V supply. This combination
makes the device an excellent candidate for transceiver line
cards in current and next generation multi-carrier 3G base
stations.

S-Parameters (VDevice = +5 V, ICC = 115 mA, 25 °C, unmatched 50 ohm system)
Notes:
The gain for the unmatched device in 50 ohm system is shown as the trace in black color. For a tuned circuit for a particular frequency, it is expected that
actual gain will be higher, up to the maximum stable gain. The maximum stable gain is shown in the dashed red line.

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
Land Pattern
Product Marking
The AH128 will be marked with an
“AH128G” designator with a lot code marked
below the part designator. The “Y” represents
the last digit of the year the part was
manufactured, the “XXX” is an auto-
generated number, and “Z” refers to a wafer
number in a lot batch.
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
contacts 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.
