ACA2402RS7P2

Overview

The ACA2402RS7P2 is an RF cable amplifier manufactured by Skyworks Solutions Inc., designed for CATV signal distribution. It operates within a frequency range of 40 MHz to 1 GHz and provides a nominal gain of 22 dB. The device utilizes MESFET technology and requires a supply voltage of 24 V with a maximum current consumption of 250 mA. It is housed in a 16-SOIC-EP package, featuring excellent impedance matching at 75 Ω for both input and output ports.

Feature Summary

• Provides specified performance up to 1 GHz frequency range
• Features very low distortion characteristics for signal integrity
• Ensures excellent 75 Ohm input and output impedance match

Applications

• CATV signal amplification
• RF cable distribution systems
• Broadband signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RS7P2 against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the application environment supports the required 24 V supply voltage and thermal dissipation capabilities associated with the SOIC-EP package configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 22 dB gain profile is required for cable amplifier applications. The 75 Ohm impedance matching makes it suitable for standard coaxial infrastructure. Consider the 16-SOIC-EP footprint for PCB layout compatibility during the design phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to Skyworks' portfolio of RF amplifiers tailored for cable television and broadband communication networks. It addresses the need for high-fidelity signal boosting in multi-dwelling units and headend distribution architectures where low distortion is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Skyworks documentation for qualified substitute part numbers. Equivalent products must match the 1 GHz specification, 22 dB gain, and 75 Ohm interface requirements.
