GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5611 is a single-ended RF/IF gain block amplifier that
provides broadband operation from 30 MHz to 6 GHz. The
ADL5611 provides a low noise figure of 2.1 dB with a very
high OIP3 of 40.0 dBm simultaneously, which delivers a high
dynamic range.
The ADL5611 provides a gain of 22.2 dB that 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 output,
making the ADL5611 easy to implement in a wide variety of
applications.
Rev. B
The only external parts required are the input and output ac
coupling capacitors, power supply decoupling capacitors, and
bias inductor.
The ADL5611 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.

The device supports operation from 30 MHz to 6 GHz. However,
for optimal performance at lower frequency bands, the board configuration must be adjusted. Table 6 lists the recommended board

Figure 26. Basic Connections
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.
S-PARAMETERS (dB)
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 ADL5611 is 94 mA.

SOLDERING INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDED
PCB LAND PATTERN
Figure 29 shows the recommended land pattern for the ADL5611.
To minimize thermal impedance, the exposed pad on the
underside of the SOT-89 package is soldered to a ground plane,
along with Pin 2. If multiple ground layers exist, stitch the layers
together using vias.
1.80mm
Thermal simulation suggests a junction temperature that is
10°C higher than the top of package temperature. With additional
measurements of the ambient temperature and input/output
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 ADL5611. 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 ADL5611 achieves an ACPR of −79 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 −62 dBc.

Figure 29. Recommended Land Pattern
The land pattern on the ADL5611 evaluation board provides a
measured thermal resistance (θJA) of 52°C/W. To measure θJA,
the temperature at the top of the SOT-89 package is sensed with
an IR temperature gun.
