RF2360
LINEAR GENERAL PURPOSE AMPLIFIER
• CATV Distribution Amplifiers
• Cable Modems
• Broadband Gain Blocks
• Laser Diode Driver
• Return Channel Amplifier
• Base Stations
The RF2360 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
2dB. 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 1000MHz.
The device is self-contained with 75
Ω input and output
impedances providing less than 2:1 VSWR matching. For
higher input and output return losses, see the evaluation
schematic.
• 5MHz to 1500MHz Operation
• Internally Matched Input and Output
• 20dB Small Signal Gain
• 1.2dB Noise Figure
• +24dBm Output Power
• Single 6V to 9V Positive Power Supply
