Description

The MAAM-007239 CATV 3-way active splitter is a

GaAs MMIC which exhibits low noise figure and

distortion in a lead-free 3 mm 16-lead PQFN plastic

package. The design employs a low noise, high

linearity amplifier and power splitter functionality.

The design features 75 Ω inputs and outputs.

The MAAM-007239 is ideally suited for multi-tuner

set top boxes, home gateways, and other broadband

internet based appliances.

The MAAM-007239 is fabricated using a pHEMT

process to realize low noise and low distortion. The

process features full passivation for robust

performance and reliability.

5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause

permanent damage to this device.

6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these

survivability limits.

7. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.

Handling Procedures

Please observe the following precautions to avoid

damage:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive

to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be

damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control

techniques should be used when handling these

devices.

† Reference Application Note S2083 for lead-free solder reflow recommendations.

Meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.

Plating is 100% matte tin over copper.
