AD8351ARMZ-REEL7

Overview

The AD8351ARMZ-REEL7 is a low-cost, fully differential RF/IF amplifier manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates from DC to 2.2 GHz with a voltage gain adjustable from unity to 26 dB via a single external resistor. The device features a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and draws 28 mA of operating current. Key electrical specifications include a noise figure of 15.5 dB at 70 MHz, a P1dB compression point of 13.3 dBm, and an OIP3 of 31 dBm. It is housed in a 10-MSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Fully differential architecture for improved linearity and common-mode noise rejection
• Gain adjustment capability ranging from unity to 26 dB using a single external resistor
• Low distortion performance suitable for high-frequency signal processing applications

Applications

• Driving high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in communication transceivers
• RF and IF amplification stages up to 2.2 GHz
• Single-ended to differential conversion circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix REEL7 confirms tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the 10-MSOP package variant matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 3 V to 5.5 V supply range aligns with your system power design. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a differential output is required for ADC driving or balanced signal paths. The adjustable gain feature allows flexibility in system design without changing components. Consider the 2.2 GHz bandwidth limit for higher frequency applications. Evaluate the 28 mA current consumption against power budget constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AD8351 series of low-cost differential amplifiers designed for RF and IF applications. It serves as a bridge between single-ended sources and differential loads, commonly used in modern wireless communication systems requiring high linearity and wide bandwidth.
