ACA0862BRS7P2

Overview

The ACA0862BRS7P2 is a surface mount monolithic GaAs RF linear amplifier designed for cable television (CATV) systems. It operates within a frequency range of 40 MHz to 1 GHz, providing a gain of 11.7 dB and a noise figure of 4 dB. The device requires an operating supply voltage of 12 V with a current consumption of 395 mA. Packaged in a 16-SOIC exposed pad configuration, it replaces standard hybrid amplifiers in new designs.

Feature Summary

• Features flat gain and very low distortion for signal integrity
• Provides excellent input and output impedance matching
• Ensures good RF stability under high VSWR load conditions
• Compatible with automatic assembly processes

Applications

• Cable television (CATV) line amplifier systems
• RF signal distribution networks
• Broadband communication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Skyworks Solutions distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for obsolescence notices prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements to maintain device reliability during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 1 GHz CATV line amplifier with low DC power consumption. Consider the 16-SOIC package for surface mount compatibility. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 12 V supply requirement and 395 mA operating current.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ACA0862 family of MMICs developed to replace standard CATV hybrid amplifiers. It can substitute the ACA0861 when paired with specific output tuning capacitors. The design supports Cenelec standards and offers repeatability inherent to monolithic fabrication.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitutes include the ACA0862-B from Anadigics and Skyworks. Replacement may require adding tuning capacitors to the output if substituting for the ACA0861 model.
