CA901A

MOTOROLA SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA Order this document by CA901/D The RF Line VHF/UHF CATV Amplifiers . . . designed for broadband applications requiring low–distortion amplification. Specifically intended for CATV/MATV market requirements. These amplifiers feature ion–implanted arsenic emitter transistors and an all gold metal system. Specified Characteristics at VCC = 24 V, TC = 25°C: Frequency Range — 40 to 860 MHz Power Gain — 17 dB Typ @ f = 40 MHz Noise Figure — 6.5 dB Typ @ f = 500 MHz 120 dBmV DIN45004B @ 860 MHz All Gold Metallization for Improved Reliability Superior Gain, Return Loss and DC Current Stability with Temperature CA901 CA901A 17 dB 40 – 860 MHz VHF/UHF CATV/MATV AMPLIFIERS CASE 714P–03, STYLE 2 (CA) MAXIMUM RATINGS (TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted) Rating RF Voltage Input (Single Tone) Supply Voltage Operating Case Temperature Range Storage Temperature Range Symbol Vin VCC TC Tstg Value +14 26 – 20 to +100 – 40 to +100 Unit dBm Vdc °C °C ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (TC = 25°C, VCC = 24 V, 75 Ω system unless otherwise noted) Characteristic Frequency Range Power Gain (f = 40 MHz) Slope (40 – 860 MHz) Gain Flatness Input/Output Return Loss f = 40 – 100 MHz f = 100 – 800 MHz f = 800 – 860 MHz Second Order Intermodulation Distortion (Vout = + 50 dBmV per ch.)
