Product Description
The AH312 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
narrowband-tuned application circuits with up to +49
dBm OIP3 and +33 dBm of compressed 1dB power. It is
housed in an industry standard SOT-89 SMT package.
All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.
The AH312 is targeted for use as a driver amplifier in
wireless infrastructure where high linearity and medium
power is required. An internal active bias allows the
AH312 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.

Test conditions unless otherwise noted.
1. T = 25oC, Vsupply = +5 V, Frequency = 2140 MHz, in tuned application circuit.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +17 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 1 A at P1dB.
