The ADL5320 is also rated to operate across the wide temperature
range of −40°C to +105°C for reliable performance in designs
that experience higher temperatures, such as power amplifiers.
The 1∕4 watt driver amplifier also covers the 400 MHz to 2700 MHz
wide frequency range and only requires a few external components
to be tuned to a specific band within that wide range. This high
performance, broadband RF driver amplifier is well suited for a
variety of wired and wireless applications including cellular
infrastructure, ISM band power amplifiers, defense equipment,
and instrumentation equipment. A fully populated evaluation
board is available.
The ADL5320 also delivers excellent adjacent channel power
ratio (ACPR) vs. output power and bias voltage. The driver can
deliver greater than 17 dBm of output power at 2140 MHz while
achieving an ACPR of −55 dBc at 5 V. If the bias is reduced to
3.3 V, the −55 dBc ACPR output power reduces to 9 dBm.
ACPR @ 5MHz CARRIER OFFSET (dBc)
The ADL5320 incorporates a dynamically adjustable biasing
circuit that allows for the customization of OIP3 and P1dB
performance from 3.3 V to 5 V without the need for an external
bias resistor. This feature gives the designer the ability to tailor
driver amplifier performance to the specific needs of the design.
This feature also creates the opportunity for dynamic biasing of
the driver amplifier, where a variable supply is used to allow for
full 5 V biasing under large signal conditions and then can reduce
the supply voltage when signal levels are smaller and lower power
consumption is desirable. This scalability reduces the need to
evaluate and inventory multiple driver amplifiers for different
output power requirements from 22 dBm to 26 dBm output
power levels.

SOLDERING INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDED
PCB LAND PATTERN
1.80mm
Figure 35 shows the recommended land pattern for the ADL5320.
To minimize thermal impedance, the exposed paddle on the
SOT-89 package underside is soldered down to a ground plane
along with Pin 2. If multiple ground layers exist, stitch them
together using vias. For more information on land pattern design
and layout, refer to the Application Note AN-772, A Design and
Manufacturing Guide for the Lead Frame Chip Scale Package
(LFCSP).

The land pattern on the ADL5320 evaluation board provides a
measured thermal resistance (θJA) of 35°C/W. To measure θJA, the
temperature at the top of the SOT-89 package is found with an
IR temperature gun. Thermal simulation suggests a junction
temperature 10°C higher than the top of the package temperature.
With additional ambient temperature and input/output power
measurements, θJA can be determined.

Data Sheet
MATCHING PROCEDURE
05840-028
The ADL5320 is designed to achieve excellent gain and IP3
performance. To achieve this, both input and output matching
networks must present specific impedance to the device. The
matching components listed in Table 7 were chosen to provide
−10 dB input return loss while maximizing OIP3. The load-pull
plots (Figure 36, Figure 37, and Figure 38) show the load
impedance points on the Smith chart where optimum OIP3, gain,
and output power can be achieved. These load impedance values
(that is, the impedance that the device sees when looking into
the output matching network) are listed in Table 8 and Table 9
for maximum gain and maximum OIP3, respectively. The contours
show how each parameter degrades as it is moved away from
the optimum point.
Figure 36. Load-Pull Contours, 880 MHz
05840-029
From the data shown in Table 8 and Table 9, it becomes clear that
maximum gain and maximum OIP3 do not occur at the same
impedance. This can also be seen on the load-pull contours in
Figure 36, Figure 37, and Figure 38. Thus, output matching
generally involves compromising between gain and OIP3. In
addition, the load-pull plots demonstrate that the quality of the
output impedance match must be compromised to optimize gain
and/or OIP3. In most applications, where line lengths are short
and where the next device in the signal chain presents a low
input return loss, compromising on the output match is
acceptable.
To adjust the output match for operation at a different frequency or
if a different trade-off between OIP3, gain, and output impedance
is desired, the following procedure is recommended.
Figure 37. Load-Pull Contours, 2140 MHz
1.
2.
3.
4.
Install the recommended tuning components for a 800 MHz
to 960 MHz tuning band, but do not install C3 and C7.
Connect the evaluation board to a vector network analyzer
so that input and output return loss can be viewed
simultaneously.
Starting with the recommended values and positions for
C3 and C7, adjust the positions of these capacitors along
the transmission line until the return loss and gain are
acceptable. Push-down capacitors that are mounted on small
sticks can be used in this case as an alternative to soldering.
If moving the component positions does not yield satisfactory
results, then the values of C3 and C7 should be increased
or decreased (most likely increased in this case as the user
is tuning for a lower frequency). Repeat this process until
the desired gain and return loss are achieved.
Once the desired gain and return loss are realized, OIP3
should be measured. Most likely, it will be necessary to go
back and forth between return loss/gain and OIP3
measurements (probably compromising most on output
return loss) until an acceptable compromise is achieved.
05840-030
For example, to optimize the ADL5320 for optimum OIP3 and
gain at 700 MHz, take the following steps:

ADL5320
OPTIMIZING OP1dB
W-CDMA ACPR PERFORMANCE
In some applications, power handling (P1dB) is a more
important parameter than IP3. In such cases, it is possible to
retune the output load to increase the compression point of the
ADL5320. Table 10 shows the performance of the ADL5320
after tuning the output load for higher OP1dB. Table 11 lists the
component spacing, and Table 12 lists the component values.
Figure 40 shows a plot of adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR)
vs. POUT for the ADL5320. The signal type being used is a single
W-CDMA carrier (Test Model 1−64) at 2140 MHz. This signal
is generated by a very low ACPR source. ACPR is measured at
the output by a high dynamic range spectrum analyzer, which
incorporates an instrument noise correction function.
Table 10. OP1dB, Gain, and IP3 Results with Optimized OP1dB
The ADL5320 achieves an ACPR of −80 dBc at 0 dBm output,
at which point device noise and not distortion is beginning to
dominate the power in the adjacent channels. At an output
power of 10 dBm, ACPR is still very low at −70 dBc, making the
device particularly suitable for PA driver applications.

EVALUATION BOARD
The schematic of the ADL5320 evaluation board is shown in
Figure 41. This evaluation board uses 25 mil wide traces and is
made from FR4 material. The evaluation board comes tuned for
operation in the 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz tuning band. Tuning
options for other frequency bands are also provided in Table 13.
The recommended placement for these components is provided
in Table 14. The inputs and outputs should be ac-coupled with
appropriately sized capacitors. DC bias is provided to the
amplifier via an inductor connected to the RFOUT pin. A bias
voltage of 5 V is recommended.
