ADPA7002AEHZ

RF Amplifiers Overview

The ADPA7002AEHZ is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC power amplifier operating from 18 GHz to 44 GHz. It delivers 15 dB gain, 28 dBm P1dB output power, and 38 dBm OIP3. The device requires a 5 V supply with 700 mA current consumption. It features an integrated temperature-compensated on-chip power detector for monitoring. Packaged in LCC-16 SMD format, it supports surface mount installation across -40°C to +85°C temperatures.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Incorporates a temperature-compensated on-chip power detector
• Utilizes GaAs pHEMT technology for high-frequency performance
• Features internal 50 Ω input and output matching

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Satellite communication systems
• Military and aerospace radar applications
• Test and measurement instrumentation

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., AEHZ vs. AEHZ-R7) against the required packaging configuration, as one denotes cut tape and the other reel. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with Analog Devices documentation. Ensure ESD handling protocols are strictly followed during storage and assembly due to the sensitivity of the GaAs pHEMT die structure.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high linearity and stable gain within the 18-44 GHz range. The built-in power detector simplifies bias control loops compared to bare die alternatives. Consider the LCC-16 package footprint for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 700 mA supply current draw at 5 V operation.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the ADPA7002 series of distributed power amplifiers. It represents the packaged version of the ADPA7002CHIP bare die. The series is designed for Ka-band applications where compact size and high output power density are critical. It complements other Analog Devices RF solutions for complete transceiver front-end modules.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

The ADPA7002AEHZ-R7 serves as the reel-pack equivalent of the ADPA7002AEHZ cut-tape variant. Both share identical electrical specifications and pinouts. No direct cross-manufacturer substitutes are documented in official sources; design changes may require impedance re-matching.
