Detailed Device Description
The TAT7467H is a flexible 5 V differential amplifier for medium power CATV applications. The amplifier of the
TAT7467H was specially designed to work with on-chip linearization to provide 3
rd
order distortion improvement over a wide
range of RF power levels and across the full CATV bandwidth. Operation of the linearizer will not affect overall gain by more
than 0.7 dB.
For any amplifier bias current, output 3
rd
order distortion may be improved by adjusting a small bias current of the on-chip
linearization circuit. The Application Schematic shows resistors setting the linearizer currents. Alternate linearizer drive
circuitry is possible; consult TriQuint for discussion.
Bias current may be adjusted with changes to external components making the TAT7467H ideal for both input and output gain
stages in an EdgeQAM amplifier line-up. For output stage applications, bias currents of between 300 mA to 400 mA are
recommended. For input stage applications, bias currents of 230 mA to 280 mA are recommended.
The TAT7467H is built using a single die, which significantly improves its resulting circuit balance and corresponding 2
nd
order distortion performance. For best 2
nd
order performance, an input balun using a 3
rd
wire construction may be used to
improve the input phase balance going into the TAT7467H.
The TAT7467H is packaged in an industry standard SOIC-8 package with a large exposed paddle to enable good heatflow to a
backside heatsink. At the maximum recommended bias current of 400 mA the power consumption will be 2 W. The
