30 MHz to 6 GHz RF/IF Gain Block ADL5544 Data Sheet FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM Fixed gain of 17.4 dB Broadband operation from 30 MHz to 6 GHz Input/output internally matched to 50 Ω Integrated bias control circuit OIP3 of 34.9 dBm at 900 MHz P1dB of 17.6 dBm at 900 MHz Noise figure of 2.9 dB at 900 MHz Single 5 V power supply Low quiescent current of 55 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) ADL5544 BIAS 1 2 3 RFIN GND RFOUT 11384-001 FEATURES Figure 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADL5544 is a single-ended RF/IF gain block amplifier that provides broadband operation from 30 MHz to 6 GHz. The ADL5544 provides over 34 dBm of OIP3 using only 55 mA from a 5 V supply. The ADL5544 provides a gain of 17 dB, which is stable over frequency, temperature, 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 ADL5544 very easy to implement in a wide variety of applications. The only external components required are the input/output ac coupling capacitors, power supply decoupling capacitors, and dc bias inductor. Rev. A The ADL5544 is fabricated on an InGaP HBT process and has a high ESD rating of ±1.5 kV (Class 1C). The ADL5544 is also fully specified for operation across the wide temperature range of −40°C to +105°C. A fully populated RoHS-compliant evaluation board is available.

Recommended Land Pattern The land pattern on the ADL5544 evaluation board provides a measured thermal resistance (θJA) of 53°C/W. To measure θJA, the temperature at the top of the SOT-89 package is found with an IR temperature gun. Thermal simulation suggests a junction temperature 10°C higher than the top-of-package temperature. With additional measurements of the ambient temperature and I/O power, θJA can be determined. Rev.

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. Figure 35.
