The Microtune 1530 (MT1530) is a low-cost programmable-gain power amplifier IC
for use in CATV upstream applications. Specifically, the MT1530 is optimized for the
DOCSIS upstream standard.
The device operates at a frequency range from 5 MHz to 65 MHz, and can output
64 dBmV through a 4:1 impedance-ratio transformer. Second harmonic distortion is
typically less than -70 dBc, and third harmonic distortion is typically less than
-55 dBc at a 59 dBmV output level. A 3-wire digital serial bus controls the variable
gain, with gain control available in 1-dB steps and a nominal 63-dB gain range.
The MT1530 may be disabled via an external control pin. The transmit-disable mode
not only minimizes output noise by shutting off the output stage, but also maintains
its output impedance at nominal levels. Output glitch transients are nominally less
than 4 mV at maximum gain settings during transmit enable/disable switching.
Operating from a single +5V supply, the amplifier’s typical current draw at maximum
gain, or minimum attenuation, is 102 mA. Additionally, internal circuitry reduces the
amplifier’s power consumption depending on gain setting. Transmit-disable mode
power supply current is reduced to a nominal of 14 mA. A shutdown mode further
reduces current to a nominal of 130 µA.
The MT1530 is available in a 20-pin SSOP package for the extended industrial
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
