Qorvo® Unveils Industry’s First 24V Power Doubler for DOCSIS® 4.0

2024-10-10 | Return

Qorvo, a leading global provider of connectivity and power solutions, unveiled the industry’s first 24V power doubler amplifier for DOCSIS® 4.0 broadband and cable TV. This new 1.8 GHz surface mount module offers unparalleled efficiency and performance in a footprint 30-40% smaller than traditional hybrid solutions, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.

The QPA3390 delivers 23 dB of gain at 1794 MHz with exceptional linearity, leveraging advanced GaAs pHEMT and GaN HEMT technologies. It offers superior return loss performance, low noise, and can operate with adjustable DC current for optimal control of RF output vs. DC power consumption, making it ideal for high-performance broadband networks. Housed in a compact 9 mm x 8 mm multi-chip module (MCM) package, the QPA3390 leverages Qorvo’s advanced GaN technology, ensuring optimal reliability and low noise. This innovative amplifier is the only 24V solution in the market, providing 73 dBmV total composite power at 11.5W, making it a superior choice for applications that require low power consumption.

Bob Simmers, senior marketing manager for Qorvo’s Infrastructure business, said, "The QPA3390 sets a new benchmark in DOCSIS 4.0 amplifier technology to meet the highly demanding requirements of the broadband industry. With its superior performance metrics and compact design, the QPA3390 reinforces Qorvo’s leadership in the CATV amplifier market."

The QPA3390 features adjustable DC current, optimizing power consumption based on output levels to lower operational costs. Its advanced temperature-sensing feature ensures reliable operation under a broad range of conditions. Paired with Qorvo&lqquot&s QPP0023 transformer and QPP0022 and QPP0024 baluns, the QPA3390 is engineered to provide a complete, optimized solution for today’s broadband networks.

Qorvo’s QPA3390 is now in production and will be showcased at the SCTE TechExpo 2024.
