AD8350ARM15-REEL7

Overview

The AD8350ARM15-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, 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 input/output impedance of 200 Ω. Packaged in an 8-lead microSOIC (MSOP), it supports both single-ended and differential input drive configurations.

Feature Summary

• Provides high dynamic range with exceptional linearity and increased common-mode rejection for signal integrity.
• Supports flexible input drive options, functioning as a general-purpose gain block or single-ended-to-differential converter.
• Delivers low noise performance suitable for demanding communications transceiver applications.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix REEL7 indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the 15 dB gain variant matches system requirements against the 20 dB alternative. Ensure the MSOP-8 footprint aligns with PCB layout constraints. Check RoHS compliance status for environmental regulations. Validate supply chain authenticity through authorized distributors to prevent counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Choose this component when a fixed 15 dB gain is required for differential signal chains up to 1 GHz. Consider the 200 Ω impedance matching for interface design. Evaluate the 28 mA supply current against power budget constraints. Select if low noise figure at 250 MHz is critical for receiver sensitivity. Compare against the AD8350ARM20 variant if higher gain is needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AD8350 series of fully-differential amplifiers by Analog Devices. The series includes variants with different gain settings, such as 15 dB and 20 dB versions. These amplifiers are engineered for high-speed data interfaces and RF applications requiring wide bandwidth and low distortion. The ARM15 designation specifically identifies the 15 dB gain model in the microSOIC package.

Replacement Considerations

The AD8350ARM20-REEL7 serves as a direct functional substitute within the same series, offering 20 dB gain instead of 15 dB while maintaining identical pinout and package. Other AD8350 variants may differ in gain or packaging but share similar electrical characteristics. Verify gain requirements before substitution to ensure circuit performance alignment.
