Description
The MAAM-011117 provides high gain, low noise
and low distortion amplification for 75 Ω customer
premises equipment (CPE).
The MAAM-011117 incorporates a power-down
function to reduce the overall current consumption to
less than 4 mA for standby operation.
The MAAM-011117 is packaged in a 2 mm 8-lead
package and requires a minimal number of off-chip
components resulting in a highly integrated low cost
solution.
