LT5526EUF#PBF

RF Mixers Overview

The LT5526EUF#PBF is a low-power broadband downconverting mixer from Analog Devices, optimized for high linearity in RF applications. It operates with an RF and LO frequency range of 1 kHz to 2 GHz, supporting IF bandwidths up to 1 GHz. The device utilizes a 16-lead QFN (4 mm x 4 mm) package with an exposed pad for thermal management. Key electrical characteristics include a typical conversion loss of 7 dB and a third-order intercept point (IP3) of +28 dBm at 900 MHz. It functions on a single 5 V supply, consuming approximately 100 mA of current.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• High linearity performance suitable for demanding signal processing tasks
• Broadband operation covering frequencies from 1 kHz to 2 GHz
• Low power consumption design for energy-efficient systems
• Compact surface-mount packaging for space-constrained layouts

RF Mixers Applications

• Point-to-point data transmission systems
• Cable infrastructure equipment
• Wireless local loop applications

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #PBF indicates lead-free tube packaging when sourcing. Confirm the manufacturer is Analog Devices Inc., formerly Linear Technology. Ensure the component matches the 16-QFN footprint and pinout requirements for your PCB design. Check current availability status as distribution may vary by region.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when high linearity and wide bandwidth are critical for downconversion tasks. Consider the 5V single-supply requirement and 100mA current draw for power budgeting. Evaluate the 7dB conversion loss against system noise figure requirements. The 4x4mm QFN package suits dense board layouts but requires adequate thermal relief on the exposed pad.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the LT5526 series of RF mixers designed for general-purpose downconversion. It complements other Analog Devices RF solutions by offering a balance between linearity and power efficiency. The device is distinct from modulators like the LT5528, focusing specifically on receiver front-end mixing applications.
