Industry’s First Half Watt RF Driver Amplifier with Dynamically Adjustable Bias and Extended Temperature Range

In addition, the ADL5324 features dynamically adjustable bias which allows RF designers to set the driver’s power consumption to the performance needs of the system, without the need for a bias resistor. The ADL5324 RF driver amplifier is well-suited for wired and wireless applications including cellular infrastructure, industrial, science, medical (ISM) band power amplifiers, and defence and instrumentation equipment.

ADL5324 Half-Watt RF Driver Amplifier Key Features:
• Operates over a frequency range of 400 MHz to 4000 MHz
• Low power consumption of 62 mA on 3.3 V, up to 133 mA on 5 V, and can be biased anywhere in between these two points
• Fully specified for operation over the widest temperature range of -40°C to +105°C
• Best in class performance: OIP3 of 43 dBm, a P1dB of 29 dBm, a gain of 14.6 dB, and a low noise figure of 3.8 dB at 2140 MHz
• Robust ESD rating of Class 2, ± 3 kV
• Available in the SOT-89 package
