ADPA7007C-KIT

RF Amplifiers Overview

The ADPA7007C-KIT is a sample pack containing the ADPA7007, a GaAs pHEMT MMIC power amplifier designed for operation between 18 GHz and 44 GHz. It features a typical gain of 21 dB to 21.5 dB within the 22 GHz to 36 GHz range. The device operates on a 5 V supply with a maximum current of 1400 mA. Key electrical parameters include a P1dB compression point of approximately 30 dBm to 31.5 dBm (>1 W output) and a noise figure of 6 dB to 6.5 dB. The component utilizes a 50 Ω matched input and output interface.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Millimeter-wave radar applications

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify availability status carefully as this specific kit part number may be discontinued or subject to limited supply conditions depending on the distributor. Confirm that the package contents match the requirement for evaluation samples rather than production quantities. Ensure compatibility with the ADPA7007-EVALZ development kit if system integration testing is planned. Check RoHS compliance documentation for regulatory adherence.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this kit primarily for evaluation and prototyping purposes rather than mass production due to its sample pack nature. Consider the ADPA7007AEHZ-R7 for reel-based manufacturing needs. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 1400 mA maximum current draw and 12.33 W power dissipation capabilities. Ensure the application frequency aligns with the 18 GHz to 44 GHz operational range for optimal performance.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This kit serves as an evaluation tool for the ADPA7007 monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). It allows engineers to assess the performance of the GaAs pHEMT power amplifier before designing custom layouts. The kit typically includes the die or packaged sample for testing against standard specifications like gain, linearity, and noise figure in millimeter-wave environments.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not explicitly documented in the provided source material. For production volume, consider the ADPA7007AEHZ-R7 which offers similar RF characteristics in a reel package. No direct cross-referenced replacement models are listed in the available data.
