## Description

The RF2360 is a general purpose, low-cost, high-linearity RF amplifier IC from Microchip Technology, manufactured on a Gallium Arsenide process and housed in an SOP-16 batwing package. It is designed for use as an easily cascadable 75 Ω gain block with a noise figure of less than 2 dB. The device features gain flatness better than 0.5dB from 5MHz to 1000MHz, making it ideal for cable TV applications.

With a frequency range of 5MHz to 1500MHz, the RF2360 provides 20dB of small signal gain and a typical noise figure of 1.2dB. It delivers +24dBm output power and operates from a single 6V to 9V positive power supply. The amplifier is internally matched with 75 Ω input and output impedances, providing less than 2:1 VSWR matching.

Key applications for the RF2360 include CATV distribution amplifiers, cable modems, broadband gain blocks, laser diode drivers, return channel amplifiers, and base stations. Its high linearity and gain flatness make it suitable for IF and RF amplification in wireless voice and data communication products operating in frequency bands up to 1000MHz.
