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.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.ApplicationsWireless infrastructureAutomated test equipmentISM/AMR applications
