High linearity IF gain block amplifiers for high frequency range electronic devices

Analog Devices has introduced the ADL5535 and ADL5536, a two new intermediate frequency (IF) gain block amplifiers that covers 20 to 1000 MHz frequency range and delivers high linearity and low noise figure performance for a variety of intermediate frequency applications such as mobile, satellite, CATV, military and instrumentation equipment.

The ADL5535 and ADL5536 IF gain block amplifiers provide high OIP3 specifications across the 1 GHz frequency range, and are internally matched to 50 Ohm at the input and output.

Only input/output ac coupling capacitors, power supply decoupling capacitors, and an external inductor are required for operation.

The ADL5535 and ADL5536 IF gain block amplifiers are stable over temperature, power supply and from device to device. They are fabricated on a GaAs HBT process and have a robust ESD rating of ±1 kV (Class 1C).

The ADL5535 gain block amplifier provides a gain of 15 dB over frequency, noise figure of 3.3 dB, a P1dB of 19.1 dBm and an output third order intercept point (OIP3) of 47.6 dBm at 190 MHz. The ADL5535 consumes only 97 mA on a single 5 V supply.

The ADL5536 gain block amplifier provides a gain of 20 dB over frequency, noise figure of 2.8 dB, P1dB of 19.8 dBm and an OIP3 of 46.5 dBm at 380 MHz. The ADL5536 consumes only 100 mA on a single 5 V supply

Operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
