The company has made its high performance CATV line amplifier technology available to manufacturers in the new SOT115J hybrid package. It has shipped over 20 million CATV line amplifiers in surface mount packages over the past 15 years.
The new hybrid-packaged devices, which deliver high gain, low noise, and superior distortion performance, will enable manufacturers to assimilate ANADIGICS’ solutions into existing CATV distribution nodes and line extenders.
870MHz Hybrid Family Summary:
The ACA3722 is a 21.5dB gain, push-pull hybrid line amplifier;
The ACA3742 is a 21.5dB gain, power-doubler hybrid line amplifier;
The ACA3753 is a 28dB gain, power-doubler hybrid line amplifier;
The ACA3733 is a 34dB gain, push-pull hybrid line amplifier;
The ACA3747 is a 25dB gain, power-doubler hybrid line amplifier.
“ANADIGICS’ 15 years of CATV line amp design experience is rolled into this product offering”, said Doug Johnson, vice president of CATV Amplifier Products. “As an example, extra testing and special circuitry has been added to maximize the ESD performance. This is required to achieve the ruggedness needed for the CATV infrastructure applications”.
Ray Aubert, senior product marketing manager, ANADIGICS reports, “ANADIGICS introduced the first commercially available integrated circuit cable TV line amplifiers, and our technology expertise in this product sector is unmatched. These new hybrid products enable us to address growing markets in Asia and eastern Europe, by harnessing ANADIGICS’ RF technology and design capability to provide customers with a competitively priced, drop-in replacement that out-performs other hybrid line amps.”
The ACA3722 and ACA3742 products will be the first available for sampling in the second quarter of 2009, followed shortly by the ACA3753. The ACA3733 and ACA3747 products will be available in the third quarter of 2009.
