ADL5801ACPZ-R7

The ADL5801ACPZ-R7 is a high-performance, wideband up/down converter mixer from Analog Devices Inc. (Analog Devices). This mixer features a high-linearity, double-balanced, active mixer core with an integrated LO (Local Oscillator) buffer amplifier, providing a wide dynamic range frequency conversion from 10 MHz to 6 GHz.

Key Features:

• Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 6 GHz, suitable for a variety of wireless communication applications.
• High Linearity: The mixer benefits from a proprietary linearization architecture, offering enhanced input IP3 (Third-Order Intercept Point) performance at high input levels.
• Bias Adjustment: The device includes a bias adjustment function, allowing for optimization of input linearity, single-sideband (SSB) noise figure, and DC current via a control pin.
• Optional Input Power Detector: An optional input power detector is provided for adaptive bias control.
• Adaptive Bias: The adaptive bias feature allows the mixer to maintain high input IP3 performance in the presence of large blocking signals. After the blocker is removed, the ADL5801ACPZ-R7 can automatically adjust its bias to provide a low noise figure and low power consumption.
• Excellent LO-to-RF and LO-to-IF Leakage: The balanced active mixer layout offers superior LO-to-RF and LO-to-IF leakage, typically better than −40 dBm.
• IF Output: The intermediate frequency (IF) output is designed to provide typical voltage conversion with a gain of 7.8 dB when loaded with a 200 Ω load.
• Compact Packaging: The device comes in a compact 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-pin LFCSP (Lead-Frame Chip Scale Package) package, suitable for high-density PCB designs.
• Operating Temperature Range: The ADL5801ACPZ-R7 operates over a temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

Applications:

• Cellular Base Station Receivers: The high linearity and wide frequency range make it ideal for use in cellular base station receivers.
• Radio Link Downconverters: Suitable for downconverting signals in radio link systems.
• Broadband Block Conversion: Can be used in broadband block conversion applications.
• Instrumentation: Suitable for various instrumentation applications requiring high-performance frequency conversion.

Technical Specifications:

• Power Conversion Gain: 1.8 dB
• SSB Noise Figure (NF): 9.75 dB
• Input IP3: 28.5 dBm
• Input P1dB: 13.3 dBm
• Typical LO Drive: 0 dBm
• Supply Voltage: 4.75V to 5.25V
• Supply Current: 130 mA

In summary, the ADL5801ACPZ-R7 is a versatile and high-performance mixer suitable for a wide range of wireless communication applications. Its high linearity, wide frequency range, and compact packaging make it an excellent choice for designers looking to implement high-performance frequency conversion in their systems.
