DESCRIPTION

LTC6430-20 

50MHz TO 1000MHz 

75

 INPUT/OUTPUT CATV AMPLIFIER 

Demonstration circuit 2078A is a 75Ω input and 75Ω output 

push-pull CATV amplifier featuring the 

LTC

®

6430-20

. The 

LTC6430-20 has a power gain of 20.8dB and is part of the 

LTC6430-YY amplifier series.
The DC2078A demo board is optimized for the frequency 

range from 50MHz to 1000MHz. It incorporates a mini-

mum  of  passive  support  components  to  configure  the
