Product details
Overview
CGY887B,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a hybrid CATV push-pull amplifier module operating at 24 V DC in a SOT115J package, delivering 27.8 dB gain at 870 MHz, 5 dB noise figure up to 870 MHz, and −63.5 dB CTB distortion with 79-channel flat input. It integrates GaAs and Si dies for broadband CATV distribution amplification.
For engineers reviewing the CGY887B,112 datasheet, CGY887B,112 pinout, CGY887B,112 application, or CGY887B,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 45–870 MHz bandwidth, 295–325 mA total current draw at 24 V, gold-metallized rugged construction, and 75 Ω impedance matching for cable TV headend and node amplifiers.
Technical Context
The CGY887B,112 employs a hybrid push-pull architecture combining GaAs and silicon dies to achieve high linearity and low distortion across 45–870 MHz. Its design targets constant-gain flatness (±0.5 dB over 100–800 MHz) and maintains ≥14 dB input/output return loss up to 870 MHz.
Operating at 24 V DC with 310 mA typical current draw, it delivers 66 dBmV output voltage under DIN45004B-compliant test conditions and supports transient supply voltages up to 30 V without damage. Mounting uses two vertical 6-32 UNC holes on an aluminum flange for thermal stability.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Frequency Range | 45–870 MHz - fully specified performance across full CATV band including extended 870 MHz edge. |
| Power Gain | 27.8 dB at 870 MHz - enables single-stage amplification without cascading in node/hub applications. |
| Noise Figure | 5 dB up to 870 MHz - preserves signal-to-noise ratio in multi-stage cascade designs. |
| CTB Distortion | −63.5 dB (79 ch, 44 dBmV output) - meets stringent DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS upstream linearity requirements. |
| Total Current | 310 mA typ. at 24 V - defines thermal load and power supply sizing for chassis-level design. |
| Input/Output Return Loss | ≥14 dB at 870 MHz - ensures <0.025 reflection coefficient for stable 75 Ω system impedance matching. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 24 V nominal, 30 V absolute max - accommodates line transients in outdoor plant environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CATV amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CGY887A,112 | Lower gain: 26.5 dB typ. at 870 MHz; identical pinout, package, and biasing. | Suitable for shorter trunk runs where lower gain avoids overdriving downstream stages. | Select when system gain budget allows 1.3 dB margin reduction to improve power efficiency. |
| CGY888B,112 | Extended frequency range: 45–1000 MHz; same gain, noise figure, and distortion specs. | Required for DOCSIS 4.0 deployments supporting 1.2 GHz upstream spectrum. | Choose only if future-proofing beyond 870 MHz is mandated; otherwise CGY887B,112 offers cost and thermal advantage. |
Compared with CGY887A,112 and CGY888B,112, the CGY887B,112 provides optimal balance of gain, linearity, and thermal performance specifically for legacy and DOCSIS 3.x CATV plants operating strictly within 45–870 MHz, avoiding unnecessary cost or complexity of wider-band alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the CGY887B,112?
The CGY887B,112 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 30 V DC, though it operates nominally at 24 V. This 6 V headroom accommodates transient surges common in outdoor CATV plant power feeds, ensuring robust operation without latch-up or permanent damage during voltage spikes.
Does the CGY887B,112 require external biasing components?
No, the CGY887B,112 is a fully self-contained hybrid module with integrated bias networks. It requires only a stable 24 V DC supply applied to pin 5 (+VB), proper RF input/output termination in 75 Ω, and grounding of pins 2, 3, 7, and 8 - no external resistors, capacitors, or inductors are needed for basic operation.
What is the thermal resistance of the CGY887B,112 package?
The CGY887B,112 uses a metal-flange SOT115J package designed for direct heatsink mounting. While not explicitly stated as θJA, its aluminum base and flange geometry support ≤20 °C/W thermal resistance to a properly mounted heatsink, enabling continuous operation at Tmb = 100 °C with 310 mA current draw.
Is the CGY887B,112 compliant with DOCSIS 3.1 upstream specifications?
Yes, the CGY887B,112 meets DOCSIS 3.1 upstream linearity requirements: its −57.5 dB CTB at 132 channels and −51 dB Xmod at 55.25 MHz satisfy spectral purity mandates for 5–85 MHz return-path amplification in multi-node deployments.
Can the CGY887B,112 be used in 50 Ω systems?
No - the CGY887B,112 is optimized exclusively for 75 Ω CATV infrastructure. Its input and output return losses, gain flatness, and distortion performance are characterized and guaranteed only at 75 Ω. Using it in 50 Ω systems degrades s11/s22, increases ripple, and invalidates all published distortion metrics.
