S3 Package
1 GHz Balanced Low Noise
Linear Amplier
Data Sheet - Rev 2.6
FEATURES
• 12 dB Gain
• +5 V Nominal Supply Voltage
• High Linearity
• Low Noise Figure: 2.7 dB (typ)
• Characterized at +25 dBmV output power
• Wide Band operation to beyond 1 GHz
• -40 to +85 °C
• RoHS-Compliant Package Option
• Driver Amplier
• CATV - Distribution / Drop Ampliers
• Set Top Boxes
• Home Gateway
The ABA3100 is a monolithic IC intended for use in
applications requiring high linearity, such as Cellular
Telephone Base Station Driver Ampliers, CATV Fi-
ber Receiver and Distribution Ampliers, CATV Drop
Ampliers, CATV Set Top Boxes and Home Gateways.
Offered in a modied 16 lead surface mount SOIC
package, it is well suited for use in ampliers where
small size, reduced component count, and high reli-
ability are important.

Notes:
1. Pins 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 should be AC-coupled. No external DC bias should
be applied.
2. Pin 9 should be AC-grounded. No external DC bias should be applied.

Notes:
(1) 132 channels, +25 dBmV per channel (measured at the output), 6 MHz channel spacing.
(2) Two tones: 397 MHz and 403 MHz, +4 dBm per tone.
(3) Characterized with IADJ pin oating.
(4) Adding a shunt resistor from the IADJ pin to ground will lower current, but with some decrease in perfomance.
