APPLICATIONS
• Home gateways and CATV digital set-top boxes
with multiple tuners, requiring phone by-
pass when power is lost
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The APS3625 active splitter accepts an RF input in
the 50 MHz to 1.0 GHz frequency range and provides
five RF outputs with minimal degradation in signal
quality. The single-package surface mount device
amplifies the input signals using highly linear, low
noise amplification stages, and couples the amplified
signal to five separate output paths to drive video
tuner(s), a DOCSIS tuner(s), or other in-band inputs.
The device provides one by-pass output to maintain a
connection when the power is lost, which is intended
for critical signals such as a digital voice phone. The
overall linearity of each tuner path is maintained across
the entire operating frequency range, ensuring low
distortion effects on each output signal.
Requiring a single +3.3 Volt supply, the active splitter
design is implemented using the GaAs MESFET
process. The small surface mount QFN packaging
makes this device ideal for use in home gateways and
multiple-tuner set-top boxes, supporting multiple video
outputs, and/or DOCSIS 3.0 and IP phones.

Note:
Pin 22 must have 3.3 V maintained, even during power loss. This is normally accomplished by a battery backup. Upon
power loss, the FET load switch (SI 1869DH) cuts off power to the five output amplifiers, and puts the APS3625 in bypass
mode.
