MACOM has introduced five NEW high-performance MMIC amplifiers. All five parts cover the downstream 45 to 1218 MHz cable band with two of the five parts, MAAM-011162 and MAAM-011163, also covering the upstream band from 5 to 1218 MHz. These devices have been designed specifically for DOCSIS 3.1 Infrastructure applications, and are a subset of MACOM's NEW high-performance MMIC portfolio scheduled for launch during this year’s European Microwave Week (EuMW) show in London.
They designed these amplifiers to meet customers demanding requirements for small to medium signal, 75 Ohms Amplifiers in new and legacy HFC (hybrid fiber Coax) Networks. These five parts address the most demanding technical and packaging challenges faced by their customers.
The MAAM-011220 is an 18.5 dB Gain, high linearity, low noise figure gain block operating from 45 to 1218 MHz. This amplifier is delivered in an industry standard 3 lead SOT-89 plastic package and can be biased at either 8 or 5 volts depending on available voltage rails and system requirements.
The MAAM-011194, is a differential, 3 stage, VGA (Variable Gain Amplifier), delivered in a 5 x 7 mm PQFN package and operating from 45 to 1218 MHz. This VGA delivers 36 dB gain, 2.5 dB noise figure and excellent ACPR at output levels of +7 dB above Cable Labs downstream radio frequency interference (DRFI) specifications.
The MAAM-011162 is a single-ended high linearity, low noise figure amplifier covering both up and downstream bands of 5 to 1218 MHz. This device is assembled in a 3lead SOT-89 plastic package and provides 18 dB of flat gain in both up and down stream applications.
The MAAM-011163 is a differential amplifier covering both upstream and downstream band 5 to 1218 MHz . Assembled in a SOIC-8EP plastic package, this device has 19 dB Gain, excellent S11 and S22 match, high linearity and 1.4 dB at noise figure at 45 MHz.
The MAAL-011136 is a broadband, ultra-low Noise figure amplifier operating from 45 to 1218 MHz. This device provides 20 dB of flat gain, low distortion with 16 dB S22 making it ideally suited as input stage for low cost fiber-to-the-X(FTTX) optical receivers and other 75 Ohms infrastructure applications.
Samples and reels of the MAAM-011220, MAAM-011194, MAAM-011163, MAAM-011162 and MAAL-011136 are now available. They are showcasing their new portfolio of high-performance MMICs at EuMW 2016 in London. Attendees can visit MACOM at stand #207.
