The MAAM-008863 provides high gain, low noise
and low distortion amplification of the downstream
CATV signal in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH)
applications.
This device is ideally suited for
interfacing with the RF video output of optical
triplexers used within optical network terminals
(ONTs).
The MAAM-008863 is fabricated using M/A-COM
Technology Solutions’ low noise GaAs pHEMT
technology in a lead-free 4 mm 24-lead package.
The amplifier requires a minimal number of off-chip
components resulting in a highly integrated low cost
solution.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
6. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
7. M/A-COM Technology Solutions does not recommend
sustained operation near these survivability limits.
8. Operating at nominal conditions with T
J
≤
+150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 10
