NEC's MC-7831-HA is a GaAs Multi-Chip Module designed
for use as input stages in CATV applications up to 1 GHz. Be-
cause this unit is a GaAs device, it has low distortion, low noise
figure, and low return loss across the entire frequency band.

Like the previous generation of products, these devices sur-
vive such hazards as surge and ESD as well as their silicon
competitors, but deliver superior performance with low DC
current required.
APPLICATIONS
• CATV HEADEND SYSTEMS
• CATV OPTICAL NODES
All devices are assembled and tested using fully automated
equipment to maximize consistency in part to part perfor-
mance, and reliability is assured by NEC's stringent quality
and process control procedures. These parts come in industry
compatible hybrid packages.
