ADRF6516ACPZ-R7

RF Misc ICS And Modules Overview

The ADRF6516ACPZ-R7 is a dual-channel radio frequency integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It integrates dual programmable filters and variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) designed for general-purpose applications with a bandwidth of 31 MHz. The device operates on a supply voltage ranging from 3.15 V to 3.45 V, drawing a typical current of 360 mA. Key electrical specifications include a total gain of 50 dB, a noise figure of 10.5 dB, and a third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 35 dBm. It features a 1-dB compression point (P1dB) of 14 dBm and supports an input frequency range up to 31 MHz. The component is housed in a 32-lead LFCSP-VQ package measuring 5 mm by 5 mm, suitable for surface mount installation.

RF Misc ICS And Modules Feature Summary

• Integrates dual independent channels combining programmable low-pass and bandpass filters with variable gain amplifiers.
• Provides flexible signal conditioning through software-programmable filter cutoff frequencies and amplifier gain settings.
• Supports wide dynamic range operation with high linearity characteristics suitable for complex modulation schemes.

RF Misc ICS And Modules Applications

• Software-defined radio front-end architectures
• General-purpose RF signal processing systems

RF Misc ICS And Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix R7 indicates reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm availability status as this component may be subject to limited supply or end-of-life transitions. Ensure compatibility with the 32-lead LFCSP-VQ footprint during procurement planning. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet revision to confirm pinout and electrical parameters match design requirements before ordering.

RF Misc ICS And Modules Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring integrated filtering and amplification within a single channel path. The 31 MHz bandwidth defines the maximum signal processing capability. Consider the 360 mA power consumption against thermal constraints in the LFCSP-32 package. Verify that the required gain and linearity specifications align with the 50 dB gain and 35 dBm OIP3 performance metrics provided in the official documentation.

RF Misc ICS And Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the ADRF65xx series of dual programmable filter and VGA ICs from Analog Devices. It serves as a specialized solution for mid-bandwidth RF applications where size reduction and integration are prioritized over discrete component solutions. The device complements other members of the family such as the ADRF6510 and ADRF6518, which offer different bandwidth capabilities.

RF Misc ICS And Modules Replacement Considerations

The ADRF6510ACPZ-R7 offers similar functionality with a 30 MHz bandwidth. The ADRF6518ACPZ-R7 provides increased bandwidth at 63 MHz. Both are direct functional alternatives within the same product family offering dual programmable filters and VGAs in identical packages.
