Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix R5 against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with CLCC-32 footprint requirements during procurement planning. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and traceability before finalizing purchase orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits for the 9 GHz to 18 GHz band that require a noise figure of 2 dB and gain of 20.5 dB. Consider the 88 mA supply current and 2.5 V to 3.5 V operating voltage range for power budget calculations. The CLCC-32 package size must align with available PCB real estate and thermal management strategies.

Part Context
