ARA2008

The ARA2008 is designed to provide the reverse path amlification and output level control functions in a cable TV set top box or cable modem. ARA2008 incorporates a digitally controlled preciosion step attenuator, which is preceded by an ultra low noise amplifier stage and followed by an ultra-linear output driver amplifier. ARA2008 uses a balanced circuit design that exceeds the MCNS/DOCSIS requirement for harmonic performance at a 60 dBmV output level while requiring only a single 5 V supply. Both the input and output of the device are matched to 75 ohms with an appropriate transfomer. The precision attenuator provides up to 58 dB of attenuation in 4 dB increments, programmable via a four-bit digital control interface.

ARA2008 has many unique features: The first one is low cost integrated monolithic GaAs amplifier with step attenuator. The second one is 5 V operaiton. The third one is low distortion and low noise,etc.There are some electrical characteristics about it.Analog supply(pins 2,4,11,20,23) is 0 VDC min and 9 VDC max. RF power at inputs(pins6,9) is 60 dBmV max. Storage temperature is -55 min and 200 max.Soldering temperature is 260. Soldering time is 5 sec max.

All the information above is just a simple introduction to ARA2008, if you are interested in it or want to know more about it, please pay more attention to our web and you can find more detailed information about it!Thanks for your attention!
