M/A-COM has announced its new MAAM-011169 12V CATV push-pull infrastructure amplifier designed to meet DOCSIS 3.1 and C-DOCSIS standards. Targeted at hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network amplifiers and FTTP ONTs, this MMIC amplifier delivers high output power, gain and linearity with low power dissipation.
The MAAM-011169 delivers 46 dBmV per channel output power with 25 dB gain and is optimized for very low distortion and high linearity in a 75 ohm push-pull amplifier circuit. It provides excellent input and output return loss over the 45 to 1200 MHz bandwidth whilst delivering superior thermal performance in an industry standard 5x7 mm PQFN package. This amplifier has been configured as two stages of differential amplifiers for broadband performance.
This amplifier is the newest addition to MACOM’s comprehensive portfolio of RF components specifically designed to comply with the DOCSIS 3.1 standard for high-bandwidth data transfer over existing HFC infrastructure. Their extensive CATV technology expertise and robust global application support network ensure that CATV providers can meet growing bandwidth demands and accelerate their time to market with DOCSIS 3.1 systems and solutions. Macom specializes in cost competitive cable/broadband solutions – covering actives, passives and filters – enable network equipment providers to support end-to-end DOCSIS 3.1 compliant HFC networks.
They will be showcasing this amplifier and their other DOCSIS 3.1 solutions at the SCTE 2015 show in New Orleans, LA from October 13-16, 2015. Production quantities and samples are available to customers, click here for datasheets and additional product information.
