APPLICATIONS VCO buffers General purpose Tx/Rx amplification GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADL5530 is a broadband, fixed-gain, linear amplifier that The ADL5530 operates with supply voltages of 3 V or 5 V with operates at frequencies up to 1000 MHz. The device can be used a supply current of 110 mA. in a wide variety of wired and wireless devices, including The ADL5530 is fabricated on a GaAs pHEMPT process. The cellular, broadband, CATV, and LMDS/MMDS applications. device is packaged in a 3 mm × 2 mm LFCSP that uses an The ADL5530 provides a gain of 16.5 dB, which is stable over exposed paddle for excellent thermal impedance. It operates frequency, temperature, power supply, and from device to from −40°C to +85°C. A fully populated evaluation board is device. It achieves an OIP3 of 37 dBm with an output also available. 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. Rev.
