The TriQuint TAT8858 is a cost effective 75 ohm RFIC Amplifier designed for use in high gain 24 V CATV applications up to 1000 MHz. It works with readily available SMT baluns and transformers to provide a highly flexible low cost replacement for traditional hybrids. Gain of the TAT8858 may be easily adjusted by varying external components, allowing for a family of push-pull hybrid solutions to be developed from a single RFIC. The TAT8858 provides integrated linearization to improve the 3rd order distortion performance.
