The QPL1841 is a GaAs pHEMT single ended MMIC RF amplifier IC featuring 12 dB of gain and low noise from 5 MHz to 850 MHz. This high linearity IC is designed to support Broadband CATV DOCSIS 4.0 applications, such as Nodes, Amplifiers, and Remote PHY Devices, as well as Fiber to The Home (FTTH), Home Gateways, and Cable Modems. The combination of low noise, excellent distortion, and low gain make this suitable for drop amps and other distribution amps. The device is powered by a single supply that can operate from 5 V to 8 V with current set at 115 mA. At 5V the QPL1841 provides an output of 57 dBmV TCP with a CCN of 51dB. The QPL1841 is packaged in a 3.0 x 3.0 16–pin QFN.
