M/A-COM Tech launches 8-way splitter for CATV

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc of Lowell, MA, USA (which makes semiconductors, components, and subassemblies for RF, microwave and millimeter-wave applications) has launched an 8-way active splitter for CATV applications.

The MAAM-010237 belongs to a larger family of broadband active splitters and targets multi-tuner set-top boxes, home gateways and other broadband, Internet-based customer premises equipment (CPE) applications. Featuring a default-on loop-through path, it allows access to the cable signal even when the CPE box is powered down.

Fabricated using M/A-COM Tech’s E/D pHEMT process, which optimizes default loop-through operation, low noise and low distortion, the MAAM-010237 is designed for operation at 50–1100GHz, and is packaged in an RoHS-compliant leadless 4mm PQFN package. 

“The MAAM-010237 8-way active splitter with default-on loop-through path reduces the front-end design complexity, component count, and real-estate requirements in today’s ‘green’ multi-tuner gateways,” says product manager Graham Board.
