ADPA7006AEHZ

RF Amplifiers Overview

The ADPA7006AEHZ is a GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifier designed for operation within the 18 GHz to 44 GHz frequency range. It operates from a single 5 V supply with an average current consumption of 800 mA. The device provides a typical gain of 23 dB, a noise figure of 7 dB, and an output P1dB of 29 dBm. Key electrical specifications include an OIP3 of 39 dBm and an input return loss of 18 dB. It features integrated power detection and 50 Ω matched input and output ports. The component is housed in a surface-mount LCC-HS-16 package.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and tape/reel configuration when sourcing components. Confirm that the received part matches the exact Analog Devices part number to ensure compatibility with design specifications. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly processes. Ensure that the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for quality assurance purposes.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component for high-frequency applications requiring moderate output power and low noise performance. Consider the thermal dissipation capabilities of the LCC-HS-16 package for PCB layout planning. Evaluate the need for external biasing circuits based on the single-supply requirement. Compare performance metrics against alternative MMICs if higher gain or different linearity characteristics are required.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the Analog Devices ADPA7006 series of RF power amplifiers. The series includes evaluation boards such as the ADPA7006-EVALZ for development purposes. Similar parts in the family include the ADPA7002 and ADPA7005, which offer varying gain and power levels within the same frequency band.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other GaAs MMICs from Analog Devices operating in the 18-44 GHz range. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance when considering alternatives. Cross-reference specifications for gain, P1dB, and noise figure to ensure functional equivalence.
