RF2320
LINEAR GENERAL PURPOSE AMPLIFIER
• CATV Distribution Amplifiers
• Cable Modems
• Broadband Gain Blocks
• Laser Diode Driver
• Return Channel Amplifier
• Base Stations
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 cas-
cadable 75
Ω gain block with a noise figure of less than
2 dB. Gain flatness better than 0.5dB from 5MHz to
1000 MHz, 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 sche-
matic.
• 5MHz to 2500MHz Operation
• Internally Matched Input and Output
• 16dB Small Signal Gain
• 1.6dB Noise Figure
• +22dBm Output Power
• Single6Vto9VPositivePower Supply
