The RF3320 is a variable gain amplifier for use in CATV
reverse path (upstream) applications. It is DOCSIS-com-
pliant for use in cable modems. The gain control covers a
58dB range and is serially programmable via three-wire
digital bus for compatibility with standard baseband
chipsets. Amplifier shutdown and transmit disable modes
are software- and hardware-controlled. The device is
placed into software-shutdown mode via the serial control
bus. The device operates over the frequency band of
5 MHz to 65MHz for use in current U.S. and European
systems. The amplifier delivers up to 60dBmV at the out-
put of the balun. Gain is controllable in accurate 1 dB
steps. The device is provided in a thermally enhanced,
exposed die flag package.
