ACA0862 - B, D
1 GHz CA TV Line Amplifier MMIC
PRELIMINARY DA T A SHEET - Rev 1.1
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ACA0862 family of surface mount monolithic
GaAs RF Linear Amplifiers has been developed to
replace, in new designs, the standard CATV Hybrid
amplifiers currently in use. The ACA0862 can also
replace the ACA0861 with the addition of tuning
capacitors to the output (see Figure 3). The MMICs
consist of two parallel amplifiers, each with 12 dB
gain. The Amplifiers are optimized for exceptionally
low distortion and noise figure while providing flat
gain and excellent input and output return loss. The
ACA0862B and ACA0862D are optimized for different
output powers, and can be used separately or
cascaded to support a variety of applications. A
Hybrid equivalent is formed when two ACA0862
devices are cascaded between transmission line
baluns. For low gain applications a single ACA0862
can be used; for higher gain applications more than
two can be cascaded. See the ACA0861 application
note for more information.

Output Stages
The ACA0862B and ACA0862D are designed as
output stage amplifiers. These parts can be used
alone for low gain, high output level applications or
can be cascaded with an ACA1206 input stage
amplifier for higher gain. The ACA0862B is a low
power dissipation part, while the ACA0862D is a
higher power dissipation part. Cascaded, an
ACA1206 and ACA0862B provide exceptional push-
pull hybrid equivalent performance; an ACA1206 and
an ACA0862D cascade provides exceptional power
doubling hybrid equivalent performance. An
ACA0862B can also be cascaded with an ACA0862D
to create a power doubler with even better distortion
performance.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
T able 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute ratings may cause permanent
damage. Functional operation is not implied under these conditions.
Exposure to absolute ratings for extended periods of time may
adversely affect reliability.
T able 3: Operating Ranges
The device may be operated safely over these conditions; however, parametric
performance is guaranteed only over the conditions defined in the electrical
specifications.

Notes:
(1) Measured with a balun on input and output of the device. See Figure 3 for test setup.
(2) “B” device measured with 79 analog channels, +47 dBmV output power at 1002 MHz with a 3 dB tilt and QAM to
1002 MHz. “D” device measured with 79 analog channels, +56 dBmV output power at 1002 MHz with a 15.6 dB tilt
and QAM to 1002 MHz.
(3) A fixed resistor is needed (see Table 6) to set the devices’ current draw. Bias voltage is +12 VDC.
