ADL5535ARKZ-R7

RF Amplifiers Overview

The ADL5535ARKZ-R7 is a single-channel RF gain block amplifier manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 20 MHz to 1 GHz and provides a nominal gain of 16 dB. The device functions on a supply voltage between 4.5 V and 5.5 V, drawing a typical operating current of 97 mA. Key performance metrics include a noise figure of 3.3 dB, a 1 dB compression point (P1dB) of 18.9 dBm, and an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 45.5 dBm at a test frequency of 380 MHz. It is housed in a compact SOT-89-3 surface-mount package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Provides linear amplification with high linearity characteristics suitable for intermediate frequency applications.
• Operates as a general-purpose gain block across a wide radio frequency bandwidth up to 1 GHz.
• Designed for low noise performance to maintain signal integrity in receiver front-end stages.

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Intermediate frequency (IF) amplification in communication systems
• General-purpose RF signal conditioning
• Wireless infrastructure components

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix R7 indicates reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the ARKZ designation matches the required RoHS compliance and lead-free status for your assembly process. Ensure the SOT-89-3 footprint aligns with your PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with official Analog Devices documentation to avoid counterfeit components or incorrect variant substitutions.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 16 dB gain is required within the 20 MHz to 1 GHz spectrum. Consider the 97 mA supply current against available power budgets. Evaluate the 3.3 dB noise figure against system sensitivity requirements. The SOT-89-3 package limits thermal dissipation compared to larger packages; ensure adequate thermal management if operating near maximum temperature ratings.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This device belongs to the ADL5535 series of RF amplifiers from Analog Devices. It is distinct from other models like the ADL5541, which covers higher frequencies up to 6 GHz, or the ADL5534, which is a dual-channel variant. The ADL5535 is specifically optimized for lower frequency IF applications rather than direct RF upconversion.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with alternative gain blocks such as the ADL5541 only if the application frequency extends beyond 1 GHz and pinout differences are accounted for.
