Additional Details

The ADL5500ACBZR7 typically operates from a single 5V supply. It offers a gain of around 20 dB, a noise figure of around 3 dB, and an output IP3 (Third-Order Intercept Point) of typically +35 dBm. The device is available in a small LFCSP package. The 'R7' suffix typically denotes the tape and reel packaging for automated assembly. The operating temperature range is generally specified as -40°C to +85°C. This gain block is ideal for use in RF/IF front-ends and intermediate stages, where high gain, low noise, and high linearity are required.
