AD6630ARZ-REEL

Overview

The AD6630ARZ-REEL is an intermediate frequency (IF) gain block manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed to interface between SAW filters and differential input analog-to-digital converters. It operates within a frequency range of 70MHz to 250MHz, providing a fixed gain of 24dB with a noise figure of 4dB. The device requires a supply voltage of 8.5V to 10.5V and draws 30mA of current. It is housed in a 16-SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed gain for interfacing SAW filters with ADCs
• Optimized for general purpose RF applications
• Designed for surface mount integration

Applications

• Interface between SAW filters and differential input analog-to-digital converters
• General purpose RF amplifier circuits
• GPS signal processing systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as obsolete on official Analog Devices channels before procurement planning. Confirm that the REEL suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with the specified 16-SOIC footprint and electrical requirements during final design validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 24dB gain is required for IF signals between 70MHz and 250MHz. It is appropriate for designs utilizing differential ADC inputs and SAW filter stages. Consider the specific supply voltage range and current consumption constraints relative to the system power budget.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Analog Devices IF amplifier family, specifically engineered for radio frequency front-end applications. It serves as a bridge component connecting passive filtering elements to active conversion stages, ensuring signal integrity across the specified operational bandwidth.

Replacement Considerations

The datasheet identifies the AD6630 as obsolete. Verify availability of alternative IF gain blocks from Analog Devices or other manufacturers that match the 24dB gain, 70-250MHz frequency range, and 16-SOIC package specifications.
