Product Description
Functional Diagram
The AH215 is a high dynamic range driver amplifier in a
low-cost surface mount package. The InGaP/GaAs HBT is
able to achieve superior performance for various
narrowband-tuned application circuits with up to +46 dBm
OIP3 and +31.5 dBm of compressed 1-dB power. The part
is housed in a lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOIC-8
package. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.

4. Typical parameters reflect performance in a tuned application circuit at +25 °C.
1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: 25 ºC, +5V Vsupply, 2140 MHz, in tuned application circuit.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +15 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz. The
suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
3. This corresponds to the quiescent current or operating current under small-signal conditions into
pins 6, 7, and 8. It is expected that the current can increase by an additional 90 mA at P1dB. Pin 1
is used as a reference voltage for the internal biasing circuitry. It is expected that Pin 1 will pull
10.8 mA of current when used with a series bias resistor of R1=51 Ω. (ie. total device current
typically will be 461 mA.)
