ARA1400/ARA1400I Reverse Amplifier with Step Attenuator FEATURES * * * * * * * Data Sheet - Rev 2.0 Low cost integrated monolothic GaAs amplifier with step attenuator Attenuation Range: 0-56 dB, adjustable in 4dB increments via a 4 wire parallel control Meets DOCSIS distortion requirements at +60dBmV output signal level Low distortion and low noise Frequency range: 5-100MHz 5 Volt operation -40 to +85 0C or 0 to +85 0C temperature range options available MCNS/DOCSIS Compliant Cable Modems CATV Interactive Set-Top Box Telephony over Cable Systems OpenCable Set-Top Box Residential Gateway APPLICATIONS * * * * * S12 Package 28 Pin SSOP with Heat Slug The ARA1400 and the ARA1400I are GaAs ICs designed to provide the reverse path amplification and output level control functions in a CATV Set-Top Box or Cable Modem. Each 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. These devices are capable of meeting the MCNS/DOCSIS requirements for harmonic performance at a +60dBmV output level while requiring only a single 4 Attenuation Control PRODUCT DESCRIPTION polarity +5V supply. On each device, both the input and the output are single-ended and matched to 75 Ohms, and a precision attenuator provides up to 56 dB of attenuation in 4 dB increments. Both devices are offered in a 28-pin SSOP package featuring a heat slug on the bottom of the package. Two temperature range options are available: the ARA1400 for commercial applications, and the ARA1400I for industrial applications.

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. Output Switch Control A switch located at the output of Amplifier A2 in the ARA1400 and the ARA1400I provides isolation without having to disable the amplifiers. The switch is controled by the Tx logic input (pin 25.) Amplifier Bias Current The ISET pins (11 and 27) 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 ARA1400 and the ARA1400I 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 5. 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 6. ESD Sensitivity Electrostatic discharges can cause permanent damage to these devices. 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.
