RF2320

Preliminary RF2320 LINEAR GENERAL PURPOSE AMPLIFIER 3 Typical Applications • CATV Distribution Amplifiers • Cable Modems • Broadband Gain Blocks • Laser Diode Driver • Return Channel Amplifier • Base Stations 3 -A0.158 0.150 0.021 0.014 0.009 0.004 The RF2320 is a general purpose, low-cost, high-linearity RF amplifier IC. The device is manufactured on a Gallium Arsenide process and is featured in an SOP-16 batwing package. It has been designed for use as an easily cascadable 75 Ω gain block with a noise figure of less than 2dB. Gain flatness better than 0.5dB from 5MHz to 1000MHz, and high linearity make this part ideal for cable TV applications. Other applications include IF and RF amplification in wireless voice and data communication products operating in frequency bands up to 2500MHz. The device is self-contained with 75 Ω input and output impedances providing 2:1 VSWR matching. For higher input and output return losses, see the evaluation schematic.

This pin should be connected to the ground plane. Same as pin 1. Ground connection. Keep traces physically short and connect immediately to ground plane for best performance. Each ground pin should have a via to the ground plane. Same as pin 3. Same as pin 3. RF input pin. This pin is not internally DC blocked. A DC blocking capacitor suitable for the frequency of operation is required if DC is present from the previous stage. The gate voltage is nominally 0V but can be raised externally to increase the bias level. This will increase the current drain but improve linearity. Same as pin 1. Same as pin 1. Same as pin 1. Same as pin 1. Same as pin 1. Same as pin 3. Same as pin 3. RF output and bias pin. Because DC is present on this pin, a DC blocking capacitor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used in most applications. For biasing, only an RF choke is needed.
