AD8350ARMZ20-REEL7

RF Amplifiers Overview

The AD8350ARMZ20-REEL7 is a high-performance fully-differential amplifier from Analog Devices, designed for RF and IF circuits up to 1 GHz. It features a fixed gain of 20 dB, a -3 dB bandwidth of 900 MHz, and a slew rate of 2000 V/µs. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 4 V to 11 V with an operating current of 28 mA. Key electrical parameters include a noise figure of 5.9 dB at 250 MHz and a P1dB of -1.8 dBm. It is housed in an MSOP-8 package.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Fully differential architecture optimized for low distortion in RF applications
• High slew rate supporting wideband signal processing
• Fixed internal gain configuration simplifying circuit design

RF Amplifiers Applications

• RF and IF circuits up to 1000 MHz
• CATV signal processing systems
• Wideband medium power amplification stages

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the REEL7 suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging rather than tube. Confirm the specific gain variant (20 dB) matches the design requirement, as other variants exist. Check RoHS compliance status and ensure the MSOP-8 footprint aligns with the PCB layout. Validate that the 4 V to 11 V supply range fits the system power constraints.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 20 dB gain is required for differential RF signals. Consider the 900 MHz bandwidth limit for frequency requirements. Evaluate the 28 mA supply current against power budget constraints. Compare the MSOP-8 thermal performance with alternative packages if heat dissipation is critical. Ensure the input bias current specifications meet the source impedance requirements.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the AD8350 series of fully-differential amplifiers. It shares the core architecture with other variants like the AD8350ARMZ15 but differs in fixed gain settings. The series is intended for high-frequency analog signal conditioning. The REEL7 designation specifically denotes the reel packaging format for automated assembly.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

The AD8350ARMZ15-REEL7 offers a similar form factor with 15 dB gain. Other AD8350 variants may provide different gain settings or packaging options. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Cross-reference datasheets for exact electrical parameter overlaps.
