DESCRIPTION
The ARA1400IS12 is a GaAs IC designed to perform the reverse path amplification and output level control
functions in a CATV Set-Top Box or Cable Modem. It incorporates a digitally controlled precision step
attenuator that is preceded by an ultra low noise amplifier stage, and followed by an ultra-linear output driver
amplifier. It is capable of meeting the MCNS/DOCSIS harmonic distortion specifications while only requiring
a single polarity +5V supply. This part is a single ended design that does not require an output balun to
achieve 52 dBc 2
