ACA2429P2

Overview

The ACA2429P2 is a dual-channel RF amplifier designed for CATV applications, manufactured by Skyworks Solutions Inc. It operates at a test frequency of 1.218 GHz and utilizes a 16-SOIC surface-mount package. The device requires a supply voltage of 24 V with a typical supply current of 430 mA. It features two independent channels within a single integrated circuit, supporting embedded electronics and industrial equipment integration. The component is RoHS3 compliant and classified as an obsolete lifecycle product.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture providing two independent RF amplification paths within a single package
• Optimized performance for CATV signal processing at 1.218 GHz
• Surface-mount design compatible with standard PCB assembly processes

Applications

• CATV signal distribution systems
• Embedded electronic equipment requiring RF amplification
• Industrial equipment utilizing cable television infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify component availability through authorized distributors, as the ACA2429P2 is listed under an obsolete lifecycle status. Confirm that the 16-SOIC package dimensions and pinout match the target design requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 standards if required by the end application. Check for moisture sensitivity handling procedures during storage and assembly to prevent damage. Validate that the 24 V supply specification aligns with the system power budget before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel RF amplifier is required specifically for CATV frequencies around 1.218 GHz. The 16-SOIC package offers a compact solution for space-constrained designs. Consider the 24 V operating voltage requirement when designing the power supply network. Evaluate the 430 mA current draw against thermal management capabilities. This part is suitable for legacy or specific industrial applications where CATV signal integrity is critical.

Part Context

The ACA2429P2 belongs to Skyworks Solutions' portfolio of RF amplifiers tailored for cable television and broadband applications. As a dual-channel device, it simplifies board layout compared to using separate single-channel amplifiers. The 1.218 GHz operation point targets specific CATV band requirements. Integration into embedded systems allows for consolidated RF front-end designs. The obsolete status indicates it may be phased out in favor of newer generations.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation due to the obsolete lifecycle status. Designers should consult Skyworks Solutions directly for potential next-generation replacements or equivalent components from other manufacturers that meet the 1.218 GHz CATV specification and 16-SOIC form factor.
