LTC6430-15
50MHz to 1000MHz
75 Input/Output CATV Amplifier
Description
Demonstration circuit 2032A is a 75 input and 75 output push-pull CATV amplifier featuring the LTC6430-15.
The LTC6430-15 has a power gain of 15.2dB and is part
of the LTC643X-YY amplifier series.
The DC2032A demo board is optimized for a frequency
range from 50MHz to 1000MHz. It incorporates a minimum of passive support components to configure the

Demo circuit 2032A is shipped with 75 F-type connectors (J1 and J2) at both input and output. Depending on
the users preference, the board may also accept other
connector types such as BNC or SMA. Please note that
the use of substandard connectors can limit the usable
bandwidth of the circuit.
The input and output transformers (T3 and T4) convert the
differential to single-ended 75 for compatibility with the
CATV environment, while preserving all the exceptional
characteristics of the LTC6430-15. In addition, the baluns
excellent phase balance and the second order linearity of
the LTC6430-15 combine to further suppress second order
products across the entire CATV band. Figure 5 shows the
spurious products (in dBc) within the passband frequency
of the output third-order intermodulation (OIM3) and the
second harmonic distortion (HD2).

The input stability networks (C3, C4, R1, R2) are not
required since the LTC6430-15 is preceded by a low frequency termination from the balun transformer.

Additional Information
As with any RF device, minimizing ground inductance is
critical. Care should be taken with the board layout because
of the exposed pad packages. The maximum number of
minimum diameter vias holes should be placed underneath
the exposed pad. This will ensure good RF ground and low

valid measurement. In other words, the spectrum analyzer 1st mixer was overloaded and producing its own
IMD products. If the IMD reading holds constant with
increased input attenuation, then a sufficient amount
of attenuation was present. Adding too much attenuation will raise the noise floor and bury the intended
IMD signal. Therefore, select just enough attenuation
to achieve a stable and valid measurement.
