ISL55010IEZ-T7

Overview

The ISL55010IEZ-T7 is a single broadband RF amplifier from the Intersil ISL550xx series, designed for Bluetooth and general-purpose applications. It operates within a frequency range of 500 MHz to 3 GHz. The device delivers a gain of 15.5 dB with a noise figure of 3.9 dB. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 8.7 dBm and an OIP3 of 27 dBm. It functions on a 5 V supply with a current consumption of 71 mA. The component is housed in a compact SC-70-6 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection capable of withstanding up to 3 kV human body model interference.

Applications

• Bluetooth communication systems
• Satellite receiver front ends
• ISM band applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T7' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some legacy listings may vary. Check manufacturer discontinuation notices, as Intersil products are often subject to end-of-life transitions following Renesas acquisition. Ensure the SC-70-6 footprint matches your PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low-noise amplification in the sub-3 GHz range. The integrated ESD protection makes it suitable for exposed-port applications. Compare its 15.5 dB gain against higher-gain alternatives if system budget allows. Verify that the 5 V operating voltage aligns with your power architecture. Consider the SC-70-6 package size for space-constrained mobile or portable devices.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ISL550xx family of low-power RF gain modules introduced by Intersil. The series includes variants like ISL55005 through ISL55014, offering different gain and frequency characteristics. Intersil was acquired by Renesas Electronics, which now manages these analog IC lines. The family targets satellite and wireless infrastructure markets.
