Description
The A3010 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which uses thin
film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and high reliability.
This single stage GaAs FET feedback amplifier design displays
impressive performance characteristics over a broadband frequency range.
An RF choke is used for DC power supply decoupling.
A voltage sequencing circuit can be used to ensure the
negative voltage (-5.2 Vdc) is turned on first and turned off last during
normal operation. Reference the application circuit on page 2.
The TO-8 package is hermetically sealed, and MIL-STD-883
environmental screening is available
.

* Model A3010 requires external Input and output DC blocking capacitors (0.36 µF nominal) on the circuit board transmission lines for operation.
Model CA3010 has internal DC blocking capacitors integrated in the design, so external blocking capacitors are not required.
** Over temperature performance limits for part number CA3010, guaranteed from 0oC to +50oC only.
