Only input/output ac coupling capacitors, at frequencies up to 4.0 GHz. The device can be used in a wide power supply decoupling capacitors, and an external inductor variety of cellular, cable television (CATV), military, and instru- are required for operation. mentation equipment. The ADL5601 is fabricated on an InGaP heterojunction bipolar The ADL5601 provides the highest dynamic range available transistor (HBT) process and has an ESD rating of ±1.5 kV from an internally matched gain block. This is accomplished by (Class 1C). The device is available in a thermally efficient SOT-89 providing extremely low noise figures and very high OIP3 speci- package. fications simultaneously, across the entire 4.0 GHz frequency range. The ADL5601 consumes 83 mA on a single 5 V supply and is The ADL5601 provides a gain of 15 dB, which is stable over fully specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C. frequency, temperature, and supply voltage, as well as from device A fully populated RoHS-compliant evaluation board is to device.

The signal type used is a Bc) –45 single wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) d T ( carrier (Test Model 1, 64) at 2140 MHz. This signal is generated SE –50 F by a very low ACPR source. ACPR is measured at the output by OF a high dynamic range spectrum analyzer that incorporates an ER –55 RI instrument noise-correction function. AR C –60 The ADL5601 achieves an ACPR of −69 dBc at −5 dBm output, Hz M at which point device noise, rather than distortion, begins to T 5 –65 A dominate the power in the adjacent channels. At an output R P C –70 power of +5 dBm, ACPR is still very low at −56 dBc, making A the device particularly suitable for power amplifier (PA) driver applications. –75–20 –15 –10 POUT– (5dBm) 0 5 10 08219-024 Figure 18.
