GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5610 is a single-ended RF/IF gain block amplifier that
provides broadband operation from 30 MHz to 6 GHz. The
ADL5610 provides a low noise figure of 2.2 dB with a very high
OIP3 of more than 38 dBm simultaneously, which delivers a
high dynamic range.
The ADL5610 provides a gain of 18 dB, which is stable over
frequency, temperature, and power supply, and from device to
device. The amplifier is offered in the industry-standard SOT-89
package and is internally matched to 50 Ω at the input and
Rev. B
output, making the ADL5610 easy to implement in a wide
variety of applications. The only external parts required are the
input and output ac coupling capacitors, power supply decoupling
capacitors, and bias inductor.
The ADL5610 has a high ESD rating of ±1.5 kV (Class 1C) and
is fully specified for operation across a wide temperature range
of −40°C to +105°C.
A fully populated RoHS-compliant evaluation board is available.

A 5 V dc bias is supplied to the amplifier through the bias inductor
connected to RFOUT (Pin 3). Decouple the bias voltage using
68 pF, 1.2 nF, and 1 μF power supply decoupling capacitors. The
typical current consumption for the ADL5610 is 92 mA.
At low frequencies, the device exhibits improved performance
with the suggested setup configuration listed in Table 6. Figure 27
and Figure 28 provide a comparison of the performance of the
device at the 30 MHz to 500 MHz band when driven with the
optimal setup configuration and the default setup configuration.

PCB LAND PATTERN
Figure 29 shows the recommended land pattern for the ADL5610.

ambient temperature and input/output (I/O) power, θJA can be
determined.
W-CDMA ACPR PERFORMANCE
Figure 30 shows a plot of the adjacent channel power ratio
(ACPR) vs. POUT for the ADL5610. The signal type used is a
single wideband code division multiple access (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 that incorporates an
instrument noise correction function.

The ADL5610 achieves an ACPR of −81 dBc at an output power
level of −5 dBm, at which point the device noise and not distortion
begins to dominate the power in the adjacent channels. At an
output power level of 5 dBm, ACPR is still very low at −65 dBc.
