MAAL-011139 Amplifier provides a gain of 21.5 dB flat gain.
Press Release Summary:
MAAL-011139 Low Noise Amplifier is used as input stage for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and 75 Ω infrastructure applications. Biased from 3 to 5 V, amplifier supports both upstream (5-204 MHz) and downstream (45-1218 MHz) CATV operation. With 1 dB and 1.5 dB of noise figure in 75 Ω CATV, 5–1218 MHz and 50 Ω system, 5-2000 MHz respectively, unit provides adjustable 20-85 mA current and return loss of 23 dB. Amplifier is housed in SOT-89 plastic package.
Original Press Release:
Richardson RFPD Introduces New High-performance CATV Amplifier from MACOM
Versatile amplifier can be biased from 3 to 5 volts
Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced today the availability and full design support capabilities for a low noise amplifier for CATV applications from MACOM Technology Solutions Inc.
In a 75 Ω CATV application, the MAAL-011139 provides 21.5 dB of flat gain while biased from 3 to 5 volts. It provides superior noise figure while maintaining excellent return losses, and gain and current may be optimized with adjustment of external component values. The new device is assembled in a SOT-89 plastic package.
The MAAL-011139 is ideally suited as the input stage for fiber-to-the-home (FTTh) applications and other 75 Ω infrastructure applications. It can support upstream (5–204 MHz) and downstream (45–1218 MHz) CATV operation.
The MAAL-011139 can also be matched into a 50-ohm system. In a broadband 50–2000 MHz application, the LNA provides 17 dB of flat gain. It offers 17 dB of available gain beyond 4 GHz.
Additional key features of the MAAL-011139 include:
- Single stage, single-ended
- 75 Ω CATV, 5–1218 MHz
- 21.5 dB flat gain
