AD8350AR15-REEL

Overview

The AD8350AR15-REEL is a high-performance fully-differential amplifier from Analog Devices, designed for RF and IF circuits up to 1000 MHz. It features a fixed gain of 15 dB, a -3 dB bandwidth of 1.0 GHz, and an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of +28 dBm at 250 MHz. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 5 V to 10 V with a typical supply current of 28 mA. It offers a low noise figure of 5.9 dB at 250 MHz and supports both single-ended and differential input drive configurations.

Feature Summary

• High dynamic range performance with exceptional linearity and increased common-mode rejection capabilities.
• Low noise figure specification suitable for sensitive signal chain applications in communications transceivers.
• Flexible input configuration allowing use as a general-purpose gain block or single-ended-to-differential converter.

Applications

• Cellular Base Stations
• Communications Receivers
• RF/IF Gain Block
• Differential A-to-D Driver

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix REEL7 against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging quantity and orientation. Ensure the part number matches the exact 15 dB gain variant required for the design. Cross-reference the MSOP-8 package marking codes with manufacturer datasheets to authenticate the component source and avoid counterfeit risks during procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 15 dB gain is required for differential signal processing in RF front-ends. Consider the 1.0 GHz bandwidth and +28 dBm OIP3 for linearity requirements. Evaluate the 28 mA supply current against power constraints. Compare against the AD8350-20 variant if higher gain is needed, ensuring the interface impedance matches the 200 Ω system design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AD8350 series of fully-differential amplifiers intended for demanding communications transceiver applications. The series enables high dynamic range differential signal chains. The AD8350AR15-REEL specifically denotes the 15 dB gain version packaged in reels for surface-mount assembly, distinct from tube-packaged variants.

Replacement Considerations

The AD8350ARMZ15-REEL7 is a documented equivalent offering identical electrical specifications in an MSOP-8 package instead of SOIC. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution. No other direct substitutes are confirmed in public documentation.
