The ACA1216 surface mount GaAs RF Linear
Amplifier has been developed to provide a high
gain output stage for HFC/FTTC node and ORM RF
amplifiers that require highest bit delivery efficiency,
low power consumption, and a ultra small landed
product footprint. The MMIC consists of two parallel
amplifiers, operating from a 12 Volt power supply,
forming the industry’s lowest cost per bit delivered
power doubler (PD). The balanced amplifier approach
is optimized for exceptionally low distortion and noise
figure, while providing flat gain and excellent input/
output return loss. The ACA1216 is designed as a
single amplifier with similar total gain and output
power as the combination of ACA1206 and ACA0862
or D3.1 compliant ACA1210 and ACA1212. ACA1216
provides a lower power dissipation solution than
discrete amplifier cascades while providing better
performance, error free content delivery to +56 dBmV/
channel, smaller landed footprint, and lower BOM cost.
