RFCA10085MHz to 1000MHz, Push-Pull, High
Linearity InGaP HBT Amplifier
RFMD's RFCA1008 is a high performance InGaP HBT MMIC amplifier designed withthe InGaP process technology for excellent reliablility. The heterojunction increasesbreakdown voltage and minimizes leakage current between junctions. A Darlingtonconfiguration is utilized for broadband performance. The RFCA1008 contains twoamplifiers for use in wideband push-pull CATV amplifiers requiring excellent secondorder performance; the second and third order non-linearities are greatly improvedin the push-pull configuration.
Features� 5V Single Supply� Excellent Linearity
Performance at +34dBmV Output Power per Tone
� Two Amplifiers in Each SOIC-8 Package Simplify Push-Pull Configuration PC Board Layout
� Available in Lead-free, RoHS Compliant, and Green Packaging
� SOIC-8 Package
Applications� CATV Head End Driver and
Predriver Amplifier� CATV Line Driver Amplifier

Pin Names and DescriptionsPin Name Description1 RFIN RF input pin. External DC-blocking capacitor is required.
2 GND Connection to ground. Use via holes for best performance to reduce lead inductance as close to ground leads as possible.
3 GND Connection to ground. Use via holes for best performance to reduce lead inductance as close to ground leads as possible.
4 RFIN RF input pin. External DC-blocking capacitor is required.
5 RFOUT/VCC RF output and bias pin (open collector).
6 GND Connection to ground. Use via holes for best performance to reduce lead inductance as close to ground leads as possible.
7 GND Connection to ground. Use via holes for best performance to reduce lead inductance as close to ground leads as possible.
8 RFOUT/VCC RF output and bias pin (open collector).
EPAD GND Exposed area on the bottom side of the package must be soldered to the ground plane of the board for optimum thermal and RF performance. Several vias should be located under the EPAD as shown in the recommended land pattern.
