    The QPL1240 is an ultra-linear GaAs pHEMT 75-Ohm differential amplifier IC with 5 – 1218 MHz operating bandwidth. This amplifier provides 17 dB of gain and very low noise figure. The Differential push-pull topology provides excellent 2nd order intermodulation performance. The QPL1240 can be used as a low noise balanced amp in DOCSIS downstream, as well as upstream applications, due to its wide operational bandwidth. The QPL1240 is packaged in a SOIC-8 plastic package.
