Upstream CATV Amplifier
General Description
The MAX3509 is a programmable power amplifier for
use in CATV upstream applications. The device outputs
up to 66dBmV QPSK through a 1:1 transformer. It fea-
tures variable gain controlled by a 3-wire digital serial
bus. Gain control is available in 1dB steps. The device
operates over a 5MHz to 65MHz frequency range.
The MAX3509 offers a transmit-disable mode, which
places the device in a high-isolation state for use
between bursts in TDMA systems. In this mode, all ana-
log functions are shut down, minimizing output noise
and power consumption. When entering and leaving
transmit-disable mode, transients are kept to 25mV
nominal at full gain. In addition, supply current is re-
duced to 7.8mA.
An additional power-down mode is available. Shutdown
mode disables all circuitry and reduces current con-
sumption to less than 1µA.
The MAX3509 is available in a 20-pin TSSOP-EP pack-
age for the extended-industrial temperature range
(-40°C to +85°C).
