Description
M/A-COM’s MAAM-007239 CATV 3-way active
splitter is a GaAs MMIC which exhibits low noise
figure and distortion in a lead-free 3mm 16-lead
PQFN plastic package. The design employs a low
noise, high linearity amplifier and power splitter
functionality. The design features 75 Ω inputs and
outputs.
The MAAM-007239 is ideally suited for multi-tuner
set top boxes, home gateways, and other broadband
internet based appliances.

Handling Procedures
Vbias
+10.0 V
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Operating Temperature
Junction Temperature
8
Storage Temperature
-40°C to +85°C
150°C
-65°C to +125°C
5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
7. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
8. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + (Өjc) * (V*I)
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 42° C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C,
(Low Current Configuration) TJ = 51 °C @ 5 V, 125 mA
(High Current Configuration) TJ = 69 °C @ 5 V, 210 mA
b) For TC= 85°C,
(Low Current Configuration) TJ = 111 °C @ 5 V, 125 mA
(High Current Configuration) TJ = 129 °C @ 5 V, 210 mA
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.
Lead-Free 3 mm 16-Lead PQFN†
†
Reference Application Note S2083 for lead-free solder reflow recommendations.
Meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
Plating is 100% matte tin over copper.
