The amplifier, which has a gain of 20 dB, has been specially designed for use in the output stage of a cellular base station radio or as an input preamplifier in a multicarrier base station power amplifier. Matching and biasing are all on-chip. The ADL5323 is available in a Pb-free, 3 mm × 3 mm, 8-lead LFCSP with an operating temperature of −40°C to +85°C. Figure 2.

This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. ESD CAUTION ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. Rev.

Each of the three power supply lines should be decoupled with 10 µF, 10 nF, and 100 pF capacitors. Pin 3, Pin 6, Pin 7, and the exposed paddle under the device should all be connected to a low impedance ground plane. If multiple ground planes are being used, these should be stitched together with vias under the device to optimize thermal conduction.
