ADA4304-2ACPZ-RL

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The ADA4304-2ACPZ-RL is a 1:2 single-ended active RF splitter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 50 MHz to 1 GHz, with specific applications cited between 54 MHz and 865 MHz. The device provides a lossless signal split in a 75 Ω system, utilizing proprietary silicon-germanium (SiGe) complementary bipolar process technology. It is housed in a 16-lead LFCSP (LFCSP-16) package with an exposed pad, also described as 16-WFQFN CSP. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Terrestrial broadcast applications
• RF signal distribution networks requiring 75 Ω impedance matching

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure correct packaging and temperature grade. Confirm that the 16-lead LFCSP footprint matches the target PCB design, noting the exposed pad requirement for thermal and electrical grounding. Check RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements for surface mount assembly processes. Ensure the supplier source is authorized to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 75 Ω active splitter is required for frequencies up to 1 GHz. The SiGe process offers advantages over passive splitters regarding insertion loss characteristics. Consider the 16-lead LFCSP package constraints for board space. Evaluate the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range against environmental conditions. Compare performance metrics such as isolation and return loss if available in the detailed datasheet against alternative active splitter solutions.
