Description

The AD8351 is a low cost differential amplifier useful in RF andIF applications up to 2.2 GHz. The voltage gain can be set fromunity to 26 dB using a single external gain resistor. The AD8351provides a nominal 150 Ω differential output impedance. Theexcellent distortion performance and low noise characteristicsof this device allow for a wide range of applications.The AD8351 is designed to satisfy the demanding performancerequirements of communications transceiver applications. Thedevice can be used as a general-purpose gain block, an ADCdriver, and a high speed data interface driver, among otherfunctions. The AD8351 can also be used as a single-ended-to-differentialamplifier with similar distortion products as in thedifferential configuration. The exceptionally good distortionperformance makes the AD8351 an ideal solution for 12-bit and14-bit IF sampling receiver designs.Fabricated in Analog Devices, Inc., high speed XFCB process,the AD8351 has high bandwidth that provides high frequencyperformance and low distortion. The quiescent current of theAD8351 is 28 mA typically. The AD8351 amplifier comes in acompact 10-lead MSOP package or in a 16-lead LFCSP package,and operates over the temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.Applications Differential ADC drivers Single-ended-to-differential conversion IF sampling receivers RF/IF gain blocks SAW filter interfacing AvailabilityOther RF / IF amplifiers products:AD8367 - 500 MHz Single Ended, Analog Controlled VGA AD8369 - 600 MHz, 45 dB Digitally Controlled Variable Gain Amplifier AD8350 - 1.0 GHz Differential Amplifier
