Description

The ADL5536 is a 20 dB linear amplifier that operates atfrequencies up to 1 GHz. The device can be used in a widevariety of cellular, CATV, military, and instrumentationequipment.The ADL5536 provides the highest dynamic range availablefrom an internally matched IF gain block. This is accomplishedby providing extremely low noise figures and very high OIP3specifications simultaneously across the entire 1 GHz frequencyrange. The ADL5536 also provides extremely flat gain and P1dBover frequency, which are stable over temperature, power supply,and from device to device.The device is internally matched to 50 Ω at the input and output,making the ADL5536 very easy to implement in a wide varietyof applications. Only input/output ac coupling capacitors, powersupply decoupling capacitors, and an external inductor arerequired for operation.The ADL5536 is fabricated on a GaAs HBT process and has anESD rating of ±2 kV (Class 2). The device is assembled in anMSL-1 rated SOT-89 package that uses an exposed paddle forexcellent thermal impedance.The ADL5536 consumes only 105 mA on a single 5 V supplyand is fully specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C.The ADL5536 is also pin-compatible with the 16 dB gainADL5535. Fully populated evaluation boards are availablefor each amplifier.
