Description
The MAAM-011194 is an integrated 3 stage
differential amplifier with embedded voltage variable
attenuator. This part is intended as the output
amplifier in a downstream Edge QAM RF modulator
to support DOCSIS3.1 applications. The module
provides high gain, low noise figure and excellent
linearity and ACPR at output levels 7 dB above
Cable Labs DRFI requirements. The voltage variable
attenuator (VVA) is implemented with PIN diodes to
provide continuous power level control with high
linearity with a single control voltage. The part is
packaged in a 5 x 7 mm PQFN package.
