GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5205 is a digitally controlled, wide bandwidth, variable
gain dual amplifier (DGA) that provides precise gain control, high
output third-order intercept (OIP3) and a near constant noise
figure for the first 12 dB of attenuation. The excellent OIP3
performance of 48.5 dBm (at 200 MHz, 5 V, high performance
mode, and maximum gain) makes the ADL5205 an excellent
gain control device for a variety of receiver applications.
low power mode. When disabled, the ADL5205 consumes only
14 mA and offers excellent input to output isolation. The gain
setting is preserved when the device is disabled.
Fabricated on the Analog Devices, Inc., high speed, silicon
germanium (SiGe) complementary BiCMOS process, the
ADL5205 provides precise gain adjustment capabilities with good
distortion performance. The ADL5205 amplifier comes in a
compact, thermally enhanced, 6 mm × 6 mm, 40-lead LFCSP
package and operates over the temperature range of −40°C to
+85°C.
For wide input dynamic range applications, the ADL5205
provides a broad 35 dB gain range with a 1 dB step size. The
gain is adjustable through multiple gain control and interface
options: parallel, SPI, or gain step up/down control.
