Description
The MAAM-009778 CATV 4-way active splitter with
the default loop-through path 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-009778 is ideally suited for multi-tuner
set top boxes, home gateways, and other broadband
internet based applications.
The MAAM-009778 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.
