PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ABA3100 is a monolithic IC intended for use in
applications requiring high linearity, such as Cellular
Telephone Base Station Driver Amplifiers, CATV Fiber
Receiver and Distribution Amplifiers, CATV Drop
Amplifiers, CATV Set Top Boxes and Home Gateways.
FEATURES
·12 dB Gain
·Balanced Design
·High Linearity
·Low Noise Figure
·Single Supply Operation
·Wide Bandwidth
·-40 to +85 °C
APPLICATIONS
·Driver Amplifier
·CATV - Distribution / Drop Amplifiers
·Set Top Boxes
·Home Gateway
Offered in a modified 16 lead surface mount SOIC
package, it is well suited for use in amplifiers where
small size, reduced component count, and high
reliability are important.

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.
Notes:
1. Pins 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 should be AC-coupled. No external DC bias should
be applied.
2. Pin 9 should be AC-grounded. No external DC bias should be applied.
