ProDUct DeScriPtion

TheAPS3625 active splitter fromANADIGICS accepts an RF input in the 50 MHz to 1.0 GHz frequency range and provides five RF outputs with minimal degradation in signal quality. The single-package surface mount device amplifies the input signals using highly linear, low noise amplification stages, and couples the amplified signal to five separate output paths to drive video tuner(s), a DOCSIS tuner(s), or other in-band inputs. The device provides one by-pass output to maintain a connection when the power is lost, which Figure 1: Functional Block Diagram “on” mode is intended for critical signals such as a digital voice phone. The overall linearity of each tuner path is maintained across the entire operating frequency range, ensuring low distortion effects on each output signal.
