QPC7338TR7

Overview

The QPC7338TR7 is a variable cable slope equalizer manufactured by Qorvo, designed for CATV applications. It operates within a frequency range of 108 MHz to 1.794 GHz and requires a 5 V supply voltage. The device features a single driver and receiver configuration, housed in a 14-QFN (6x6 mm) package with an exposed pad for surface mount installation. It supports a minimum operating temperature of -30°C and a maximum of +100°C. This component provides voltage-controlled tilt board functionality to compensate for signal loss in cable networks.

Feature Summary

• Provides variable cable slope equalization for signal compensation
• Supports wideband operation from 108 MHz to 1.794 GHz
• Integrates voltage-controlled tilt board functionality
• Designed for high-temperature reliability up to 100°C

Applications

• CATV network signal conditioning
• Cable modem upstream path compensation
• RF signal distribution systems requiring tilt adjustment
• Broadband infrastructure equalization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR7 indicates reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the 14-QFN package dimensions match the design footprint. Ensure the 5V supply requirement aligns with system power rails. Check RoHS compliance status via official documentation before integration. Validate the operating temperature range against environmental constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise voltage-controlled tilt adjustment across a wide frequency spectrum. The integrated driver and receiver simplify circuit design compared to discrete solutions. Consider the 14-QFN package size for space-constrained layouts. Ensure thermal management supports the +100°C maximum rating during continuous operation.

Part Context

The QPC7338TR7 belongs to Qorvo's QPC7338 series of RF equalizers. It complements other MCM equalizers like the QPC7339 and QPC7336, offering similar voltage-controlled tilt capabilities. The series targets cable operator infrastructure needs, providing consistent performance for signal integrity maintenance in hybrid fiber-coaxial networks.

Replacement Considerations

The QPC7336TR7 serves as a related alternative within the same product family. Both devices offer voltage-controlled tilt board functionality and similar supply requirements. Verify frequency range compatibility and package pinout alignment before substitution. Consult official datasheets for detailed electrical parameter comparisons.
