ACA1206 1 GHz CATV Line Amplifier PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET - Rev 1.0 FEATURES • 15 dB Gain • Very Low Distortion • Excellent Input/Output Match • Low DC Power Consumption • Good RF Stability with High VSWR Load Conditions • RoHS-compliant Surface Mount Package Compatible with Automatic Assembly • Repeatability of Monolithic Fabrication • Meets Cenelec Standard • 1 GHz Specified Performance APPLICATIONS • • S7 Package 16 Pin Wide Body SOIC with Heat Slug CATV Distribution Amplifier High Linearity CATV Amplifier PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The ACA1206 is a surface mount monolithic GaAs RF Linear Amplifier that has been developed to replace, in new designs, the standard CATV Hybrid amplifiers currently in use. The MMIC consist of two parallel amplifiers, each with 15 dB gain. The RF Input amplifier is optimized for exceptionally low distortion and noise figure while providing flat gain and excellent input and output return loss for applications up to 1 GHz. The device requires single +12 V supply, and is offered in a RoHS-compliant package. 15dB 12dB 15dB 12dB ACA1206 ACA0862B/D Figure 1: Hybrid Application Diagram 09/2005 RF Output ACA1206 1 GND GND 16 2 N/C VA 15 3 RFINA RFOUTA 14 4 GND GND 13 5 GND GND 12 6 RFINB RFOUTB 11 7 IADJ VB 10 8 GND GND 9 Figure 2: Pin Out Table 1: Pin Description 2 PIN NAME DESCRIPTION PIN NAME DESCRIPTION 1 GND Ground 9 GND Ground 2 N/C No Connection 10 VB Supply for Amplifier B 3 RFINA Input to Amplifier A 11 RFOUTB Output from Amplifier B 4 GND Ground 12 GND Ground 5 GND Ground 13 GND Ground 6 RFINB Input to Amplifier B 14 RFOUTA Output from Amplifier A 7 IADJ Current Adjust 15 VA Supply for Amplifier A 8 GND Ground 16 GND Ground PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET - Rev 1.0 09/2005 ACA1206 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Table 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings PARAMETER MIN MAX UNIT Amplifier Supplies (pins 10, 11, 14, 15) 0 +15 VD C RF Input Power (pins 3, 6) - +70 dBmV -65 +150 °C Soldering Temperature - +260 °C Soldering Time - 5.0 se c Storage Temperature Stresses in excess of the absolute ratings may cause permanent damage.

This part can be used alone for low gain, low output level applications or can be cascaded with one of the ACA0862 output stages for higher gain and output signal drive level. The ACA1206 is a low power dissipation part designed as a driver for the ACA0862B output stage.
