ADL5530

Data Sheet FEATURES Fixed gain of 16.5 dB Operation up to 1000 MHz 37 dBm Output Third-Order Intercept (OIP3) 3 dB noise figure Input/output internally matched to 50 Ω Stable temperature and power supply 3 V or 5 V power supply 110 mA power supply current APPLICATIONS VCO buffers General purpose Tx/Rx amplification GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADL5530 is a broadband, fixed-gain, linear amplifier that operates at frequencies up to 1000 MHz. The device can be used in a wide variety of wired and wireless devices, including cellular, broadband, CATV, and LMDS/MMDS applications. The ADL5530 provides a gain of 16.5 dB, which is stable over frequency, temperature, power supply, and from device to device. It achieves an OIP3 of 37 dBm with an output compression point of 21.8 dB and a noise figure of 3 dB. This amplifier is single-ended and internally matched to 50 Ω with an input return loss of 11 dB. Only input/output ac-coupling capacitors, a power supply decoupling capacitor, and an external inductor are required for operation.
