PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ACD2204 uses both GaAs and Si technology
to provide the downconverter and dual synthesizer
functions in a double conversion tuner gain block,
local oscillator, balanced mixer, IF Amplifier, and
dual synthesizer. The specifications meet the
requirements of CATV/TV/Video and Cable Modem
Data applications. The ACD2204 is supplied in a 28
lead SSOP package and requires a single +5 V
supply voltage. The IC is well suited for applications
where small size, low cost, low auxiliary parts count,
and no-compromise performance is important. It
provides for cost reduction by lowering the
component and packaged IC count and decreasing
the amount of labor-intensive production alignment
steps, while significantly improving performance
and reliability.
