Description

The MAAM-008820 CATV 4-way active splitter is a

GaAs MMIC which exhibits low noise figure and

distortion in a lead-free 3 mm 12-lead PQFN plastic

package. The design features 75 Ω inputs and

outputs.

The MAAM-008820 is ideally suited for multi-tuner

set top boxes, home gateways, and other broadband

internet based appliances.

The MAAM-008820 is fabricated using MACOM’s

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 does not recommend sustained operation near

these survivability limits.

6. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 8 x 105 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.
