GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5606 is a broadband, two-stage, 1 W RF driver
amplifier that operates over a frequency range of 1800 MHz
to 2700 MHz. The device can be used in a wide variety of
wired and wireless applications, including ISM, MC-GSM,
W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, and LTE.
The ADL5606 operates on a 5 V supply voltage and a supply
current of 362 mA. The driver also incorporates a fast power-
up/power-down function for TDD applications, applications
that require a power saving mode, and applications that
intermittently transmit data.
2140 MHz
The ADL5606 is fabricated on a GaAs HBT process and is
packaged in a compact 4 mm × 4 mm, 16-lead LFCSP that
uses an exposed paddle for excellent thermal impedance. The
ADL5606 operates from −40°C to +85°C. A fully populated
evaluation board tuned to 2140 MHz is also available.
