Richardson RFPD Introduces 1/2-Watt RF Driver Amplifier from ADI |
July 31, 2012 Press Release -- Dynamically-Adjustable Biasing Circuit Allows for Customization of OIP3 and P1dB Performance from 3.3 V to 5 V July 31, 2012 – LaFox, Illinois: Richardson RFPD, Inc. today announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for a new 1/2-watt RF driver amplifier from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI). The ADL5324 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 versatile feature creates the opportunity for dynamic biasing of the device where a variable supply is used to allow for full 5 V biasing under large signal conditions, and then reduced supply voltage when signal levels are smaller and lower power consumption is desirable.  The
ADL5324 is rated to operate across a wide temperature range (−40°C to
+105°C), covers a wide frequency range (400 MHz to 4000 MHz), and requires
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.Additional key features of the ADL5324 include:
Common configurations are in stock and available for immediate delivery. To find more information, or to purchase the device today on the Richardson RFPD website, please visit the ADL5324 webpage.
