GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADL5601 is a broadband, 15 dB linear amplifier that operates at frequencies up to 4.0 GHz. The device can be used in a wide variety of cellular, cable television (CATV), military, and instrumentation equipment. The ADL5601 provides the highest dynamic range available from an internally matched gain block. This is accomplished by providing extremely low noise figures and very high OIP3 specifications simultaneously, across the entire 4.0 GHz frequency range. The ADL5601 provides a gain of 15 dB, which is stable over frequency, temperature, and supply voltage, as well as from device to device. The device is internally matched to 50 Ω at the input and output, making the ADL5601 very easy to implement in a wide Rev. A variety of applications. Only input/output ac coupling capacitors, power supply decoupling capacitors, and an external inductor are required for operation. The ADL5601 is fabricated on an InGaP heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) process and has an ESD rating of ±1.5 kV (Class 1C). The device is available in a thermally efficient SOT-89 package. The ADL5601 consumes 83 mA on a single 5 V supply and is fully specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C. A fully populated RoHS-compliant evaluation board is available.

Supply Current vs. POUT and Temperature VCC = 5 V Rev. A | Page 11 of 16 ADL5601 Data Sheet BASIC CONNECTIONS The basic connections for operating the ADL5601 are shown in Figure 16. Recommended components are listed in Table 5. The input and output should be ac-coupled with appropriately sized capacitors (the device characterization was performed with 0.1 μF capacitors). A 5 V dc bias is supplied to the amplifier through the bias inductor connected to RFOUT (Pin 3). The bias voltage should be decoupled using a 1 µF capacitor, a 1.2 nF capacitor, and a 68 pF capacitor. GND VCC C6 GND 1µF (2) SOLDERING INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDED PCB LAND PATTERN Figure 17 shows the recommended land pattern for the ADL5601. To minimize thermal impedance, the exposed paddle on the package underside, along with Pin 2, should be soldered to a ground plane. If multiple ground layers exist, they should be stitched together using vias. For more information on land pattern design and layout, refer to the AN-772 Application Note, A Design and Manufacturing Guide for the Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP).

ACPR vs. POUT, Single W-CDMA Carrier (Test Model 1, 64) at 2140 MHz Rev. A | Page 13 of 16 08219-024 The ADL5601 achieves an ACPR of −69 dBc at −5 dBm output, at which point device noise, rather than distortion, begins to dominate the power in the adjacent channels. At an output power of +5 dBm, ACPR is still very low at −56 dBc, making the device particularly suitable for power amplifier (PA) driver applications. –40 ACPR AT 5MHz CARRIER OFFSET (dBc) Figure 18 shows a plot of the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) vs. POUT for the ADL5601. The signal type used is a single wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) carrier (Test Model 1, 64) at 2140 MHz. This signal is generated by a very low ACPR source. ACPR is measured at the output by a high dynamic range spectrum analyzer that incorporates an instrument noise-correction function.
