The AH420 is a high dynamic range amplifier in a low-cost
surface mount package. The InGaP/GaAs HBT is able to
achieve high performance with -49 dBc ACLR and +35.7
dBm of compressed 1dB power, operating off of a single
+5V supply. It is housed in a lead-free/green/RoHS-
compliant 4x5mm DFN package. All devices are 100% RF
and DC tested.

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: 25ºC, +5V Vsupply, 2140 MHz, in tuned application circuit.
2. W-CDMA 3GPP Test Model 1+64 DPCH, PAR = 10.2 dB @ 0.01% Probability, 3.84 MHz BW
3. This corresponds to the quiescent current under small-signal conditions into pins 6, 7, and 8 when
the current setting resistor, R4 connected to the Iref pin, is at 82
Ω.
4. OIP3 is measured with two tones at out an output power of +27 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz.
The suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
5. The amplifier has been tested for ruggedness to be capable of handling:
10:1 VSWR @ 5Vcc, 2140MHz, +35.2dBm CW Pout, 25 °C
10:1 VSWR @ 5Vcc, 940MHz, +28.5dBm IS-95A Pout, 25 °C

Notes:
1.
Please note that for reliable operation, the evaluation board will have to be mounted to a
much larger heat sink during operation and in laboratory environments to dissipate the
power consumed by the device. The use of a convection fan is also recommended in
laboratory environments.
2.
The area around the module underneath the PCB should not contain any soldermask in
order to maintain good RF grounding.
