Product Summary

The MAX3517EEP is a kind of programmable-gain amplifier, which is designed for use in CATV upstream applications, such as DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS and DVB Cable, Modems. The MAX3517EEP drive up to+61dBmV (QPSK) into a 75Ω load when driven with a +34dBmV nominal input signal.The MAX3517EEP utilizes an external output resistor for greater load-matching flexibility.The MAX3517EEP operates from a single +5VDC supply and draw 120mA during transmit (100% duty cycle, +61dBmV out). Additionally,The MAX3517EEP is shut off between bursts to minimize noise and save power while still maintaining a match at the output port. Shutdown mode disables all circuitry and reduces current consumption to 10μA (typ). The typical applications of MAX3517EEP include: (1)DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS and DVB Cable; (2)Modems; (3)OpenCable Set-Top Boxes; (4)Telephony-Over-Cable; (5)CATV Status Monitors.
