ADL8102ACPZN

RF Amplifiers Overview

The ADL8102ACPZN is a GaAs low-noise amplifier (LNA) from Analog Devices Inc., designed for radar and wireless applications. It operates within a frequency range of 1 GHz to 22 GHz. The device provides a typical gain of 27 dB, with an output power at 1 dB compression (OP1dB) of 13.5 dBm and a third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 23 dBm. It features a noise figure of 3 dB and input return loss of 20 dB. Powered by a single positive supply voltage of 5 V, it draws 110 mA. The component is housed in a 16-lead LFCSP-WQ package (3x3 mm) and supports operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R7' against the datasheet to confirm reel packaging requirements if applicable. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity. Cross-reference the full part number including all alphanumeric characters to avoid mismatches with similar variants in the ADL8102 series. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to finalizing orders.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth extending up to 22 GHz is required alongside moderate gain. The self-biasing feature reduces external component count compared to other LNAs in the family. Consider the thermal dissipation capabilities of the LFCSP-EP-16 package for high-density PCB layouts. Evaluate the noise figure specifications against system sensitivity requirements for weak signal detection scenarios.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the ADL8102 series of wideband low-noise amplifiers. It shares architectural similarities with models like the ADL8108 but differs in frequency range and enable pin configurations. The series targets applications demanding broad spectral coverage without sacrificing linearity or noise performance.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. The ADL8109 offers higher input power tolerance but may differ in gain characteristics. Designers should evaluate electrical compatibility carefully before swapping components.
