Upstream CATV amplifier in 20-SSOP
The Maxim Integrated MAX3514EEP+ is a variable gain amplifier designed specifically for CATV upstream applications. It comes in a 20-SSOP (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface-mount package, also known as the 20-QSOP supplier device package.
Package and footprint fit
The 20-SSOP package with 0.154" body width and 3.90 mm pitch is a common footprint for CATV line amplifiers. The surface-mount assembly matches standard reflow profiles. Verify the land pattern against your PCB layout — the 20-QSOP designation is the same mechanical outline used in Maxim's documentation.
