ADL8121ACPZN-R7

RF Amplifiers Overview

The ADL8121ACPZN-R7 is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC low-noise amplifier (LNA) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 25 MHz to 12 GHz, providing a typical gain of 16.5 dB and a noise figure of 2.5 dB. The device features a high output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 36 dBm and a saturated output power (P SAT) of 21.5 dBm. It requires a single positive supply voltage of 5 V with a current consumption of 95 mA. Packaged in a compact 2x2 mm LFCSP-6 footprint, it supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R7' indicates reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability for the Analog Devices Inc. manufacturer identification. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes prior to finalizing procurement orders.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component for wideband applications requiring high linearity and low noise. The integrated matching reduces external component count. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements given the 1.25 W power dissipation rating. Consider the LFCSP-6 package size constraints for PCB layout optimization.
