LT5526EUF

RF Mixers Overview

The LT5526EUF is a high linearity, low power downconverting mixer from Analog Devices. It operates with an RF frequency range of 100 kHz to 2 GHz and a local oscillator (LO) range of 100 kHz to 2.5 GHz. The device provides a gain of 0.4 dB and a noise figure of 13.7 dB. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 1 dBm and an OIP3 of 14.1 dBm. It functions within an IF range of 100 kHz to 1 GHz, drawing 28 mA at supply voltages between 3.6 V and 5.3 V. The component is housed in a 16-pin QFN package and supports operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when sourcing this component. The suffix indicates the packaging format, such as tube or tape and reel, which affects handling and assembly processes. Confirm that the requested variant matches the required RoHS compliance status and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with the intended PCB footprint and soldering profile before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this mixer for designs prioritizing linearity over ultra-low noise figures. Evaluate the 14.1 dBm OIP3 against system interference requirements. Consider the 28 mA current draw for battery-operated constraints. Verify that the 16-QFN package fits the spatial limitations of the circuit board layout.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the LT5526 series of broadband mixers. It shares functional similarities with other Hi Linity mixers but offers specific trade-offs between power consumption and linearity. The EUF suffix denotes the lead-free, halogen-free compliant version of the standard LT5526 component.
