Description

The MAAM-010237 CATV 8-way active splitter with

the default loop-through path is a GaAs MMIC which

exhibits low noise figure and distortion in a lead-free

4mm 24-lead PQFN plastic package. The design

features 75 Ω inputs and outputs.

This device is ideally suited for multi-tuner set top

boxes, home gateways, and other broadband

internet based applications.

The MAAM-010237 is fabricated using M/A-COM

Technology Solutions’ E/D pHEMT process to

realize default loop-through operation, low noise and

low distortion. The process features full passivation

for robust performance and reliability.
