NEC's MC-7881, MC-7882, MC-7883, and MC-7884 are GaAs
Multi-Chip Modules designed for use as output stages in CATV
applications up to 870 MHz. The only difference between these
devices is gain, which is 18 dB, 20 dB, 22 dB, and 25 dB
respectively. Because these units are GaAs devices they have
low distortion, low noise figure, and low return loss across the
entire frequency band.

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

NOTES ON CORRECT USE
RECOMMENDED SOLDERING CONDITIONS
1. The space between PC board and root of the lead should be
kept more than 1 mm to prevent undesired stress on the lead and
also should be kept less than 4 mm to prevent undesired parasitic
inductance.
This product should be soldered in the following recommended
conditions. Other soldering methods and conditions than the
recommended conditions are to be consulted with our sales
representatives.
Recommended space is 2.0 to 3.0 mm typical.
2. Recommended torque strength of the screw is 59 to 78 Ncm.
3. Form the ground pattern as wide as possible to minimize ground
impedance. (to prevent undesired oscillation)
All the ground pins must be connected together with wide ground
pattern to decrease impedance difference.
