QPA4425 75 25dB CATV Amplifier 47 1218MHz Product Overview The QPA4425 is a GaAs pHEMT/MESFET 75-ohm push-pull RF amplifier IC featuring 25dB of flat gain and low noise. This IC is designed to support DOCSIS 3.1 applications up to 1218MHz using a single 24V supply. The QPA4425 offers low noise and low distortion at high efficiency consuming only 7W in a 5x7 QFN package. Its compact size and low jc enable integration that is ideally suited for hybrid module applications. 40 pin 5x7 QFN Package Functional Block Diagram Key Features High Gain: 25dB 1218MHz Adjustable Bias RF +24V RC Filter V I LIN DD CTRL 47 - 1218 MHz BW I DD I DD 47dBmv/ch flat RF IN RF OUT 75 75 Low Noise: 5dB QPA4425 Excellent Composite Distortion pHEMT / MESFET device technologies I DD I DD EP Compact Size: 40P 5x7 QFN RC Filter +24V RF Power Consumption (24V, 290mA - 7W) Applications DOCSIS 3.1 Broadband CATV hybrid modules Head End CMTS Equipment 75-ohm amplifiers Ordering Information Part No. Description QPA4425SB Sample bag with 5 pieces QPA4425SR 7 Reel with 100 pieces QPA4425TR13 13 Reel with 2500 pieces QPA4425EVB-01 471218MHz PCBA Data Sheet Rev.
