GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADCA3280 is a power doubler with 22.7 dB of power gain

at 1794 MHz designed for operation in 24 V applications. The amplifier

can also be operated with a lower supply voltage, providing

superior efficiency as seen in Figure 10, Figure 17, and Figure 20.

The device achieves high RF output up to 75 dBmV total composite

power (TCP) with excellent noise power ratio (NPR), or equivalently

modulation error ratio (MER), with channel loading to 1.8 GHz as

well as 1.2 GHz, making it an ideal output stage device for DOCSIS

4.0 as well as DOCSIS 3.1 equipment. The DC current and

supply voltage can be adjusted externally for optimum distortion

performance vs. power consumption over a range of output levels.

The ADCA3280 provides high performance, simplifying the design

and manufacturing of DOCSIS 3.1 and DOCSIS 4.0 infrastructure equipment.
