PC3211GR
AGC AMPLIFIER FOR DIGITAL CATV RETURN PASS
DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PC3211GR is a silicon monolithic integrated circuit designed as AGC amplifier for digital CATV systems. This
IC is the AGC amplifier with 55 dB gain control range which is packaged in 20-pin SSOP. The device is able to use
for digital QPSK system, therefore it contributes to make design of transmission system simplicity.
