30 MHz to 6 GHz RF/IF Gain Block ADL5611 Data Sheet FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM Fixed gain of 22.2 dB Broad operation from 30 MHz to 6 GHz High dynamic range gain block Input and output internally matched to 50 Ω Integrated bias circuit OIP3 of 40.0 dBm at 900 MHz P1dB of 21.0 dBm at 900 MHz Noise figure of 2.1 dB at 900 MHz Single 5 V power supply Low quiescent current of 94 mA Wide operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C Thermally efficient SOT-89 package ESD rating of ±1.5 kV (Class 1C) GND (2) ADL5611 BIAS 1 2 3 RFIN GND RFOUT 11508-001 FEATURES Figure 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADL5611 is a single-ended RF/IF gain block amplifier that provides broadband operation from 30 MHz to 6 GHz. The ADL5611 provides a low noise figure of 2.1 dB with a very high OIP3 of 40.0 dBm simultaneously, which delivers a high dynamic range. The ADL5611 provides a gain of 22.2 dB that is stable over frequency, temperature, and power supply, and from device to device. The amplifier is offered in the industry-standard SOT-89 package and is internally matched to 50 Ω at the input and output, making the ADL5611 easy to implement in a wide variety of applications. Rev. B The only external parts required are the input and output ac coupling capacitors, power supply decoupling capacitors, and bias inductor. The ADL5611 has a high ESD rating of ±1.5 kV (Class 1C) and is fully specified for operation across a wide temperature range of −40°C to +105°C. A fully populated RoHS compliant evaluation board is available. Document Feedback Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

To minimize thermal impedance, the exposed pad on the underside of the SOT-89 package is soldered to a ground plane, along with Pin 2. If multiple ground layers exist, stitch the layers together using vias. 1.80mm Thermal simulation suggests a junction temperature that is 10°C higher than the top of package temperature. With additional measurements of the ambient temperature and input/output power, θJA can be determined. W-CDMA ACPR PERFORMANCE Figure 30 shows a plot of the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) vs. POUT for the ADL5611. 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. 0.635mm 3.48mm 5.37mm 0.20mm 0.62mm 0.86mm –10 –20 –30 –40 –50 –60 –70 –80 –90 –20 1.27mm –15 –10 –5 0 5 10 POUT (dBm) 11508-138 0.762mm ACPR AT 5MHz CARRIER OFFSET (dBc) 0 0.86mm Figure 30. ACPR vs. POUT, Single W-CDMA Carrier (Test Model 1-64) at 2140 MHz 3.00mm The ADL5611 achieves an ACPR of −79 dBc at an output power level of −5 dBm, at which point the device noise and not distortion begins to dominate the power in the adjacent channels. At an output power level of 5 dBm, ACPR is still very low at −62 dBc. 11508-229 1.50mm Figure 29. Recommended Land Pattern The land pattern on the ADL5611 evaluation board provides a measured thermal resistance (θJA) of 52°C/W. To measure θJA, the temperature at the top of the SOT-89 package is sensed with an IR temperature gun. Rev.
