[1] The slope is defined as the difference between the gain at the start frequency and the gain at the stop frequency.

[2] 79 analog channels, NTSC frequency raster: 55.25MHz to 547.25MHz, +42dBmV to +51.4dBmV tilted output level, plus 75 digital

channels, -6dB offset relative to the equivalent analog carrier.

[3] 79 analog channels, NTSC frequency raster: 55.25MHz to 547.25MHz, +39dBmV to +48.4dBmV tilted output level, plus 75 digital

channels, -6dB offset relative to the equivalent analog carrier.

[4] Composite Second Order (CSO) - The CSO parameter (both sum and difference products) is defined by the NCTA. Composite Triple Beat

(CTB) - The CTB parameter is defined by the NCTA. Cross Modulation (XMOD) - Cross modulation (XMOD) is measured at baseband (selective

voltmeter method), referenced to 100% modulation of the carrier being tested. Carrier to Intermodulation Noise (CIN) - The CIN parameter is

defined by ANSI/SCTE 17 (Test procedure for carrier to noise).

Caution! ESD sensitive device.

Exceeding any one or a combination of the Absolute Maximum Rating conditions may

cause permanent damage to the device. Extended application of Absolute Maximum

Rating conditions to the device may reduce device reliability. Specified typical perfor-

mance or functional operation of the device under Absolute Maximum Rating condi-

tions is not implied.
