Qorvo QPL1823EVB01 Evaluation Board

Qorvo QPL1823EVB01 Evaluation Board is a demonstration and development platform for the QPL1823 75Ω CATV Amplifier. The QPL1823 is an ultra-linear, GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) pHEMT (Pseudomorphic High-Electron-Mobility Transistor) differential RF amplifier offering up to 26dB of flat gain with very low distortion. The QPL1823 features a 50MHz to 1800MHz frequency range, providing an ideal solution for Broadband CATV DOCSIS 4.0 applications, such as nodes, amplifiers, and remote PHY devices, as well as Fiber to The Home (FTTH), home gateways, and cable modems. The device is powered by a single 5V supply at 260mA, which provides an output of 63dBmV TCP at a Modulation Error Ratio (MER) of 45dB.

The Qorvo QPL1823EVB01 Evaluation Board features a pre-installed QPL1823 in a 5.0mm x 5.0mm laminate module. 75Ω F-connectors are provided for RFIN and RFOUT, and headers enable access to key signals. The Evaluation Board provides an example application circuit, allowing rapid prototyping when incorporated into existing designs.
