Description  
The AL7 limiting amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which  
uses thin film manufacturing processes for accurate  
performance and high reliability.  
This design uses a Schottky diode limiter circuit at the output,  
and a single stage bipolar transistor feedback amplifier at the  
output. An RF choke is used for DC power supply decoupling
.  
Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically  
sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.
