ARA05050 Reverse Amplifier with Step Attenuator FEATURES * * * * * * * * * * * * Data Sheet - Rev 2.0 Low cost integrated monolothic GaAs amplifier with step attenuator Attenuation Range: 0-30 dB, adjustable in 2dB increments via a 4 wire parallel control Meets DOCSIS distortion requirements at +58dBmV output signal level Low distortion and low noise Low signal to noise ratio at all gain levels Frequency range: 5-100MHz 5 Volt operation MCNS/DOCSIS Compliant Cable Modems CATV Interactive Set-Top Box OpenCable Set-Top Box Fiber Nodes Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS) APPLICATIONS S12 Package 28 Pin SSOP with Heat Slug PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The ARA05050 is a GaAs IC designed to provide the reverse path amplification and output level control functions in a CATV Set-Top Box or Cable Modem. It incorporates a digitally controlled precision step attenuator that is preceded by an ultra low noise amplifier stage, and followed by an ultra-linear output driver amplifier. This device is capable of meeting the MCNS/DOCSIS requirements for harmonic performance at a +58dBmV output level while requiring only a single polarity +5V supply. Both the input and the output are single-ended and matched to 75 Ohms. The precision attenuator provides up to 30 dB of attenuation in 2 dB increments. The ARA05050 is offered in a 28-pin SSOP package featuring a heat slug on the bottom of the package. 4 Attenuation Control Switch ARA05050 LPF Balun Upstream QPSK/16QAM Modulator Clock Data RAM ROM 5-42 MHz Transmit Enable/Disable MAC Clock 44 MHz Data Microcontroller with Ethernet MAC Diplexer 54-860 MHz DoubleConversion Tuner SAW Filter QAM Receiver with FEC 10Base-T Transceiver RJ45 Connector Figure 1.

Special consideration must be given to certain features of the the printed circuit board layout, as they can affect the RF performance of the IC. Refer to the ANADIGICS application note CATV Reverse Amp w/ Step Attenuator for more details. Amplifier Enable / Disable The ARA05050 includes two amplification stages that each can be shut down through external control pins VREF1 and VREF2 (pins 5 and 19, respectively.) By applying a typical bias of 1.75 Volts to these pins, the amplifiers are enabled. In order to fully disable an amplifier, its control pin requires a negative bias of -1.5 to -2.0 Volts. Amplifier Bias Current The ISET pins (11 and 25) set the bias current for the amplification stages. Grounding these pins results in the maximum possible current. By placing a resistor from the pin to ground, the current can be reduced. The recommended bias conditions use the configuration shown in the test circuit schematic in Figure 4. Thermal Layout Considerations The device package for the ARA05050 features a heat slug on the bottom of the package body. Use of the heat slug is an integral part of the device design. Soldering it to the ground plane of the PC board will ensure the lowest possible thermal resistance for the device, and will result in the longest MTF (mean time to failure.) A PC board layout that optimizes the benefits of the heat slug is shown in Figure 13. The via holes located under the body of the device must be plated through to a ground plane layer of metal, in order to provide sufficient thermal conductivity. The recommended solder mask outline is shown in Figure 14. ESD Sensitivity Electrostatic discharges can cause permanent damage to this device. Electrostatic charges accumulate on test equipment and the human body, and can discharge without detection. Proper precautions and handling are strongly recommended. Refer to the ANADIGICS application note on ESD precautions.
