Product Description
The AH116 is a high dynamic range driver amplifier in a
low-cost surface mount package. The InGaP/GaAs HBT
is able to achieve high performance for various narrow-
band tuned application circuits with up to +43 dBm OIP3
and +28 dBm of compressed 1-dB power and is housed
in a lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package. All
devices are 100% RF and DC tested.
The product is targeted for use as driver amplifiers for
wireless infrastructure where high linearity and medium
power is required. The internal active bias allows the
AH116 to maintain high linearity over temperature and
operate directly off a +5 V supply. This combination
makes the device an excellent fit for transceiver line
cards and power amplifiers in current and next generation
multi-carrier 3G base stations.

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted:
25 oC, +5V Vsupply, 900 MHz, in tuned application circuit.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +13 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. It is
expected that the current can increase up to 300mA at P1dB.
