PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ACA1206 is a surface mount monolithic GaAs RF
Linear Amplifier that has been developed to replace,
in new designs, the standard CATV Hybrid amplifiers
currently in use. The MMIC consist of two parallel
amplifiers, each with 15 dB gain. The amplifier is
optimized for exceptionally low distortion and noise
figure while providing flat gain and excellent input and
output return loss for applications up to 1 GHz. The
device requires single +12 V supply and is offered in
a RoHS-compliant package.
