Description

The MAAM-008818 CATV 2-way active splitter is a

GaAs MMIC which exhibits low noise figure and

distortion in a lead-free 2mm 8-lead PDFN plastic

package. The design features 75 Ω inputs and

outputs.

The MAAM-008818 is ideally suited for multi-tuner

set top boxes, home gateways, and other broadband

internet based appliances.

The MAAM-008818 is fabricated using M/A-COM’

Technology Solutions pHEMT process to realize low

noise and low distortion. The process features full

passivation for robust performance and reliability.

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

permanent damage to this device.

5. M/A-COM Technology Solutions does not recommend

sustained operation near these survivability limits.

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

7. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN))

Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 77° C/W.

a) For TC = 25°C,

TJ = 71 °C @ 5 V, 120 mA

b) For TC = 85°C,

TJ = 127 °C @ 5 V, 110 mA

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.
