ADA4304-4ACPZ-RL

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The ADA4304-4ACPZ-RL is a 75 Ω active RF power splitter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 54 MHz to 865 MHz and is housed in a 16-VFQFN exposed pad package. The device utilizes silicon germanium (SiGe) technology to achieve low distortion and a noise figure of 4.6 dB. It requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5 V, drawing approximately 92 mA of operating current. The component supports surface-mount installation and functions across temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact part number required for the design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history for any updates regarding mechanical dimensions or thermal performance specifications before finalizing procurement.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 75 Ω impedance match is required for active signal splitting. Consider the 4.6 dB noise figure and 2.9 dB gain characteristics for signal integrity requirements. Evaluate the 92 mA current consumption against available power budgets. Confirm that the 16-VFQFN package fits the PCB layout constraints and thermal management strategy.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the ADA4304 series of active splitters designed for cable applications. It is distinct from passive splitters by providing gain to compensate for insertion loss. The series includes variants with different split ratios, such as the ADA4304-3. The device is fabricated using proprietary SiGe processes to ensure high linearity and low noise performance in demanding RF environments.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

The ADA4304-4ACPZ-R2 is a documented substitute variant within the same product family. Verify that the R2 suffix does not alter the functional specifications or packaging requirements compared to the RL version.
