The ADL5536 is a 20 dB linear amplifier that operates at frequencies up to 1 GHz. The device can be used in a wide variety of cellular, CATV, military, and instrumentation equipment.

The ADL5536 provides the highest dynamic range available from an internally matched IF gain block. This is accomplished by providing extremely low noise figures and very high OIP3 specifications simultaneously, which are maintained across the entire 1 GHz frequency range. The ADL5536 also provides an extremely flat gain of 20 dB over frequency, which is stable over temperature, power supply, and from device to device. The device is internally matched to 50 Ω at the input and output, making the ADL5536 very easy to implement in a wide variety of applications. Only input/output ac coupling capacitors, power supply decoupling capacitors, and an external inductor are required for operation.

The ADL5536 is fabricated on a GaAs HBT process and has an ESD rating of ±1 kV (Class 1C). The device is assembled in a MSL-1 rated SOT-89 package that uses an exposed paddle for excellent thermal impedance.

The ADL5536 consumes only 100 mA on a single 5 V supply and is fully specified for operation from ?40°C to +85°C.

There is a pin-compatible 15 dB gain version, which is also available in the SOT-89 package.
