AD8350AR15-REEL7

Overview

The AD8350AR15-REEL7 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 and operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 5 V to 10 V. The device draws 28 mA of supply current and offers an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of +28 dBm at 250 MHz with a noise figure of 5.9 dB. It supports both single-ended and differential input drive configurations. The component is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package and is supplied in a reel format.

Feature Summary

• Provides high dynamic range with exceptional linearity and increased common-mode rejection for signal integrity.
• Functions as a general-purpose gain block, A-to-D driver, or high-speed data interface driver.
• Capable of converting single-ended signals to differential signals via the dedicated input configuration.

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 packaging type and tape specifications. Ensure the part number matches the exact 15 dB gain variant required for the design. Cross-reference the 8-lead SOIC package dimensions with PCB footprint libraries. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest certification documents before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 15 dB gain is required for frequencies up to 1 GHz. Consider the 200 Ω input/output impedance for matching networks. Evaluate the 28 mA supply current against power budget constraints. Compare performance metrics such as OIP3 and noise figure against alternative amplifiers if higher linearity or lower noise is necessary for the specific application environment.

Part Context

The AD8350 series comprises high-performance fully-differential amplifiers intended for demanding communications transceiver applications. This series enables high dynamic range differential signal chains with exceptional linearity. The AD8350AR15-REEL7 represents the 15 dB gain version packaged in an 8-lead SOIC format, distinct from the microSOIC variants and the 20 dB gain models within the same family.

Replacement Considerations

The AD8350AR20-REEL7 serves as a direct substitute if a 20 dB gain configuration is acceptable instead of 15 dB. Other members of the AD8350 series may be considered if package variations or different gain settings align with system requirements. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameter overlaps before substitution.
