Connecting people, protecting your network: NXP's CATV C-family for the Chinese
SARFT standard
Specially designed for the Chinese Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) infrastructure, NXP's CATV C-family offers a
total solution for cable TV networks. It is both flexible enough for connecting rural communities as part of
China’s "Connecting to Every Village" program and powerful enough for upgrading major cities from analog
to high-end digital services. All C-type devices are compliant with the Chinese State Administration for Radio,
Focus applications,
products & technologies
Film and Television (SARFT) standard, and cover most HFC applications in the 550 MHz to 1 GHz range.

GaAs HFET dies for high-end devices
The BGY588C, BGE788C and BGD712C devices cover
the frequency range from 550 MHz to 750 MHz. Extending
the C-family portfolio into the high-end segment, the
between 40 and 870 MHz and have been specifically tested
under Chinese raster conditions. Manufactured using our GaAs
HFET die process, the CGD942C and CGD944C are high-gain,
high-performance 870 MHz power doublers. The CGD982HCi,
and are specified for 870 MHz and 1 GHz. These power
doublers are optimized for the Chinese SARFT standard. They
are capable of satisfying the demanding requirements of top-
end applications, including high-power optical nodes.
Our GaAs HFET MMIC dies are designed to provide the best
ESD protection levels, without the external TVS components
normally used with GaAs pHEMT devices.
All CATV C-type devices feature a transparent cap that makes
it easy to distinguish them from counterfeit products.
