Description

The ADA1200 is a highly linear amplifier developed to meet the

stringent requirements of CATV systems. Offered in a low-cost

SOT-89 package, this GaAs MESFET design offers low noise and

low distortion over a wide frequency range. The device is ideally

suited for applications as a low-noise amplifier in CATV set-top

boxes, and as a drop amplifier in CATV distribution systems. The

ADA1200 requires a single +5 V supply, and typically consumes

400 mW of power.

A block diagram of the ADA1200 is shown in Figure 1. The device

package and pinout are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin

assignments and functional pin descriptions are described in

Table 1.

Electrical and Mechanical Specifications

The absolute maximum ratings of the ADA1200 are provided in

Table 2. Recommended operating conditions are specified in

Table 3.

Electrical specifications are provided in Table 4. Typical

performance characteristics are shown in Figures 3 through 16.

Evaluation Board S parameters are shown in Table 5.

Table 2. ADA1200 Absolute Maximum Ratings1

Parameter Minimum Maximum Units

Device voltage (VDD) +9 VDC

RF input power (PIN) +10 dBm

Storage temperature (TSTG) -40 +150 °C

Channel temperature +150 °C

1 Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other parameters set at

or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.

ESD HANDLING: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage this device.

This device must be protected at all times from ESD when handling or transporting. Static charges may easily produce

potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection.

Industry-standard ESD handling precautions should be used at all times.

Table 3. ADA1200 Recommended Operating Conditions1

Parameter Min Typ Max Units

RF input/output frequency 50 1000 MHz

Supply voltage (VDD) +5 VDC

Case temperature (TC) -40 +100 °C

1 The device may be operated safely over these conditions; however, parametric performance is guaranteed only over the conditions defined in the electrical specifications.

Package Dimensions

The package dimensions for the ADA1200 are shown in

Figure 18.

Package and Handling Information

Since the device package is sensitive to moisture absorption, it is

baked and vacuum packed before shipping. Instructions on the

shipping container label regarding exposure to moisture after the

container seal is broken must be followed. Otherwise, problems

related to moisture absorption may occur when the part is

subjected to high temperature during solder assembly.

It can be used for lead or lead-free soldering. For additional

information, refer to the Skyworks Application Note, Solder Reflow

Information, document number 200164.

Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is

done manually or in a production solder reflow environment.

Production quantities of this product are shipped in a standard

tape and reel format.
