The device can be used in a wide ESD rating of ±2 kV (Class 2). The device is assembled in an variety of cellular, CATV, military, and instrumentation MSL-1 rated SOT-89 package that uses an exposed paddle for equipment. excellent thermal impedance. The ADL5536 provides the highest dynamic range available The ADL5536 consumes only 105 mA on a single 5 V supply from an internally matched IF gain block. This is accomplished and is fully specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C. by providing extremely low noise figures and very high OIP3 The ADL5536 is also pin-compatible with the 16 dB gain specifications simultaneously across the entire 1 GHz frequency ADL5535. Fully populated evaluation boards are available range. The ADL5536 also provides extremely flat gain and P1dB for each amplifier. over 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 variety of applications. Only input/output ac coupling capacitors, power supply decoupling capacitors, and an external inductor are required for operation. Rev.
