Product details
Overview
BGY588C,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a hybrid push-pull RF amplifier module designed for CATV line extension in 40–550 MHz bandwidth, delivering 34.5 dB typical power gain at 50 MHz, operating at 24 V DC supply with 305–345 mA total current draw, and housed in a rugged SOT115J aluminum-flanged package.
For engineers reviewing the BGY588C,112 datasheet, BGY588C,112 pinout, BGY588C,112 application, or BGY588C,112 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications including gain flatness (±0.5 dB), composite distortion performance (CTB ≤ −57 dB, CSO ≤ −62 dB), input/output return loss (≥15 dB), noise figure (≤8 dB), and thermal mounting base limits (−20 °C to +100 °C).
Technical Context
The BGY588C,112 implements a silicon-based push-pull amplifier topology with TiPtAu-metallized crystals and silicon nitride passivation, enabling high linearity and low-noise operation across the full 40–550 MHz CATV band. It maintains stable 75 Ω impedance matching at both input and output under standard test conditions (ZS = ZL = 75 Ω).
Its design targets line extender applications requiring minimal slope variation (0.2–1.7 dB cable-equivalent slope) and flat frequency response (±0.5 dB flatness), while tolerating supply transients up to 30 V despite nominal 24 V operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Power Gain | 33.5–35.5 dB at 50 MHz; ensures sufficient signal boost for multi-stage CATV distribution without cascaded noise degradation. |
| Bandwidth | 40–550 MHz; fully covers DOCSIS-compliant downstream spectrum and legacy analog TV channels. |
| Composite Distortion | CTB ≤ −57 dB and CSO ≤ −62 dB at 44 dBmV output; meets stringent multi-channel spectral purity requirements for 77-channel flat systems. |
| Noise Figure | ≤8 dB at 50 MHz; preserves upstream SNR margin in bidirectional HFC networks. |
| Input/Output Return Loss | ≥16 dB (input) and ≥15 dB (output) across band; minimizes reflections and standing waves in 75 Ω coaxial plant. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX2541ETJ+T | 3.3 V operation, 400–1000 MHz bandwidth, integrated bias control; lower gain (22 dB), higher NF (4.5 dB). | Designed for portable broadband receivers, not CATV infrastructure; lacks 75 Ω matching and flange-mount thermal design. | Select only for low-voltage, wideband receiver front-ends-not for 24 V CATV line extension. |
| QPL9057TR13 | 5 V operation, 400–6000 MHz range, GaAs pHEMT process; 17 dB gain, 1.5 dB NF, no flange package. | Targeted at wireless infrastructure and small-cell base stations; incompatible with 75 Ω CATV impedance and thermal mounting requirements. | Use only in 50 Ω RF systems requiring ultra-low noise and wideband coverage-unsuitable for HFC plant deployment. |
Compared with MAX2541ETJ+T and QPL9057TR13, the BGY588C,112 uniquely combines 24 V operation, 75 Ω impedance, aluminum flange thermal management, and CATV-optimized distortion performance-making it non-interchangeable in line extender designs requiring compliance with SCTE-47 and ANSI/SCTE 40 standards.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage the BGY588C,112 can withstand?
The BGY588C,112 operates nominally at 24 V DC but is rated to withstand supply transients up to 30 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This transient tolerance allows safe operation during power-up sequencing and line surges in outdoor CATV cabinets without external clamping circuitry.
Does the BGY588C,112 require external bias adjustment?
No, the BGY588C,112 is a fully self-biased hybrid module with internal bias network optimized for 24 V operation. No external resistors, capacitors, or trimmers are needed-only proper RF input/output matching and supply decoupling per the recommended layout in the datasheet.
Is the BGY588C,112 qualified for outdoor use in cable plant enclosures?
Yes-the BGY588C,112 features silicon nitride passivation, TiPtAu metallization, and an aluminum flange rated for mounting base temperatures from −20 °C to +100 °C, making it suitable for sealed outdoor amplifier housings exposed to temperature cycling and humidity.
What is the meaning of "SOT115J" in the BGY588C,112 ordering code?
SOT115J denotes the standardized JEDEC outline for a rectangular single-ended hybrid module with aluminum flange, two vertical 6-32 UNC mounting holes, two extra horizontal mounting holes, and seven gold-plated in-line leads-distinct from plastic IC packages and defined in NXP's ordering information table.
How does the BGY588C,112 achieve its ±0.5 dB flatness specification?
The BGY588C,112 achieves ±0.5 dB flatness across 40–550 MHz through precision push-pull transistor pairing, internal equalization networks, and optimized impedance matching at both input and output ports under 75 Ω source/load conditions-verified in the Characteristics section of the datasheet.
