Description
M/A-COM's AM-183 is a feedback amplifier with high
intercept and compression points. This amplifier is
packaged in a TO-8 package. Due to the internal power dis-
sipation the thermal rise should be minimized. The ground
plane on the PC board should be configured to remove heat
from under the package. AM-183 is ideally suited for use
where a high compression, high reliability amplifier is re-
quired.

2. All specifications apply when operated at +15 VDC, with 50 ohms source and load impedance.
3. Heat Sinking: Operation at case temperature above 95C is not recommended. Heat sinking adequate to dissipate 1.25W must
be provided in use.
