APS3626 Six-way Active Power Splitter aDVANCED PRODUCT INFORMATION - Rev 0.0 FEATURES • Single Input, Six Output Design • Wideband Operation to 1 GHz • Nominal 5 dB Gain • 4.0 dB Typical Noise Figure • Single +3.3V or +5V Supply • High Linearity, Low Distortion • Current adjust pin for optimizing distortion performance • Single-Ended 75 Ohm Inputs/Output • Materials set consistent with RoHS Directives APS 362 6 APPLICATIONS • All-Digital CATV Set-Top Boxes with Multiple Tuners • Home Gateways, Multiple-Tuner TVs and Set-top boxes S34 Package 24 Pin QFN 4 mm x 4 mm x 1 mm PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This APS3626 active splitter from ANADIGICS accepts a broadband RF input from 51 MHz to 1002 MHz and splits the signal to provide six broadband RF outputs with minimal degradation of quality. The singlepackage surface mount device amplifies the input using highly linear, low noise amplification stages, and couples the amplified signal to six separate output paths that can each drive digital video 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 either +3.3V or +5 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 multipletuner solutions.
