Analog Devices Inc. ADA4304-3/-4 Single-Ended Active RF Splitters

Analog Devices Inc. ADA4304-3/-4 Single-Ended Active RF Splitters are for use in applications where a lossless signal split is required. Typical applications include multituner digital set-top boxes, cable splitter modules, multituners/digital cable ready (DCR) televisions, and home gateways where traditional solutions require discrete passive splitter modules with separate fixed gain amplifiers. 

The ADA4304-3/-4 are fabricated using the ADI proprietary silicon germanium (SiGe), complementary bipolar process, enabling them to achieve very low levels of distortion with a noise figure of 4.6dB. The parts provide low cost alternatives that simplify designs and improve system performance by integrating a signal splitter element and a gain block into a single IC.
