Qorvo (NASDAQ:QRVO) has expansion of its CATV product portfolio to include two new control products designed for DOCSIS 3.1 cablenetworking. The newly added products are designed to enhance upstream and downstream bandwidth and reduce power consumption.
Qorvo's new control components use silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process technologies. The QPC3624 is a 6-bit DSA with high linearity and low insertion loss that also allows attenuation and faster switching speed. The QPC3024 RF absorptive switch operates from 5 MHz to 3 GHz and allows switching speed of 250 ns typical performance. Both the QPC3624 and QPC3024 are DOCSIS 3.1-ready.
Samples and evaluation boards for both the QPC3624 and QPC3024 are available now, with limited production release expected in October and November, respectively. Both products will be showcased at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in Philadelphia.
