ADL5336ACPZ-R7

RF Amplifiers Overview

The ADL5336ACPZ-R7 is a dual-channel integrated circuit featuring variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) and programmable root-mean-square (RMS) detectors, designed for cascaded intermediate frequency (IF) applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 1 GHz. The device provides a total gain of 48 dB with an operating supply voltage between 4.5 V and 5.5 V, drawing 80 mA. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 7 dBm, a noise figure of 8 dB, and a per-channel gain of 19.5 dB. Packaged in Tape & Reel format, it supports high-precision signal processing in broadband communication systems.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Analog Devices documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the package type matches the required PCB layout specifications. Check for any recent product lifecycle notices or obsolescence warnings directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring integrated VGA and RMS detection capabilities within the IF stage. Ensure the design accommodates the specified 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range and thermal dissipation requirements. Evaluate if the 1 GHz bandwidth and 48 dB total gain align with the system's dynamic range and linearity needs.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the ADL5336 series from Analog Devices, which focuses on high-integration RF and IF solutions. It complements other products like the ADRF6516 by offering combined amplification and detection functions. The series aims to simplify board space and reduce bill-of-materials costs for modern radio equipment designers.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

Consult official Analog Devices substitution guides for verified alternatives. Do not assume functional equivalence with generic VGA ICs due to the unique integration of programmable RMS detectors.
