ADMV1012AEZ

RF Misc ICS And Modules Overview

The ADMV1012AEZ is a GaAs MMIC I/Q downconverter operating from 17.5 GHz to 24 GHz. It features an intermediate frequency range of 2.5 GHz to 3.5 GHz and a local oscillator input of 7 GHz to 13.5 GHz. Key electrical parameters include a gain of 15 dB, a noise figure of 2.5 dB, and an OIP3 of 3 dBm. The P1dB compression point is -5 dBm with power dissipation at 800 mW. It operates on a 3 V supply within a -40°C to +85°C temperature range in a 32-CLCC package.

RF Misc ICS And Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AEZ' against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm the exact pinout and thermal pad configuration. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level. Cross-reference the CLCC-32 package dimensions with PCB footprint libraries before finalizing procurement orders to prevent assembly errors.

RF Misc ICS And Modules Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring operation between 17.5 GHz and 24 GHz with low noise performance. The 2.5 GHz to 3.5 MHz IF range suits standard baseband processing interfaces. Consider the 800 mW power dissipation for thermal management strategies. Evaluate the 15 dB gain against system link budget requirements to determine if additional amplification stages are necessary.
