APS3603

This APS3603 active splitter from ANADIGICS accepts a broadband RF input from 50 MHz to 1 GHz and splits the signal to provide two broadband RF outputs with minimal degradation of quality. The single-package surface mount device amplifies the input using highly linear, low noise amplification stages, and couples the amplified signal to two separate output paths that each can drive either analog video, digital video or digital data tuners. The overall linearity of each path is maintained across the entire operating frequency range, ensuring low distortion effects on each output signal.

Requiring a single voltage supply of +5 V, and operable down to +3.3 V, the active splitter is manufactured using ANADIGICS' highly reliable GaAs MESFET process. The small surface mount QFN packaging makes this device ideal for use in today's set-top boxes, televisions and video tuner cards requiring multiple-tuner solutions.
