Product details
Overview
AD8351ACPZ-R7 from Analog Devices is a low-distortion differential RF/IF amplifier optimized for 70–240 MHz signal chains, delivering 10 dB gain (typ.), −79 dBc HD2 / −81 dBc HD3 at 70 MHz, and 31 dBm OIP3 into 150 Ω. It serves as a high-fidelity ADC driver in IF sampling receivers and SAW filter interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AD8351ACPZ-R7 datasheet, AD8351ACPZ-R7 pinout, AD8351ACPZ-R7 application, or AD8351ACPZ-R7 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world distortion performance at 70 MHz, and confirmed alternatives for differential gain block selection.
Technical Context
The AD8351ACPZ-R7 employs a fully differential transconductance architecture with internal 350 Ω feedback resistors and programmable gain via external RG (100 Ω for 10 dB). Its XFCB process enables 2.2 GHz −3 dB bandwidth at 12 dB gain and <3 ns settling time to 1%.
It supports adjustable output common-mode voltage (1.2 V to 3.8 V via VOCM), single-supply operation (3–5.5 V), and power-down control (PWUP ≥1.3 V). Input common-mode range is 1.2–3.8 V; output differential offset is 20 mV (typ.) with 0.13 mV/°C drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| −3 dB Bandwidth | 2.2 GHz at 12 dB gain - enables wideband IF amplification up to cellular/WiMAX bands without roll-off |
| Harmonic Distortion | −79 dBc HD2 / −81 dBc HD3 at 70 MHz - meets SFDR >78 dBc requirement for 14-bit ADC driving |
| OIP3 | 31 dBm at 70 MHz - supports high dynamic range in receiver front ends with strong interferers |
| Noise Spectral Density | 2.70 nV/√Hz RTI at 70 MHz - preserves SNR when driving 14-bit ADCs like AD6645 |
| Supply Current | 28 mA at 5 V - enables low-power RF gain staging in battery-sensitive or thermally constrained designs |
| Output Impedance | 150 Ω differential - matches standard RF terminations and simplifies interface to SAW filters or ADC inputs |
| Settling Time | <3 ns to 1% - supports fast-switching IF sampling and multiplexed signal paths |
Pinout & Package
The AD8351ACPZ-R7 is housed in a 16-lead LFCSP (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.8 mm height) with exposed pad soldered to ground. Pin 1 is RGP1; pins 5–8 and 14–15 are NC; EPAD is internally grounded.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWUP (Pin 16) | Power-up enable input | Active-high logic control: ≥1.3 V activates amplifier; <0.8 V disables (60 dB isolation) |
| RGP1 / RGP2 (Pins 1 / 2) | Gain resistor terminals | Connect external RG (e.g., 100 Ω for 10 dB); sets differential voltage gain from 0–26 dB |
| INHI / INLO (Pins 3 / 4) | Differential input pair | AC-coupled balanced inputs biased to midsupply; 5 kΩ input resistance, 0.8 pF capacitance |
| VOCM (Pin 13) | Common-mode voltage reference | Sets DC bias of both inputs and outputs (1.2–3.8 V); decouple with 0.1 μF capacitor to ground |
| OPHI / OPLO (Pins 11 / 10) | Differential output pair | 150 Ω nominal differential output impedance; 4.75 V p-p max swing at 1 dB compression |
| VPOS (Pin 9) | Positive supply | 3–5.5 V single supply; quiescent current 28 mA (typ.) at 5 V |
| COMM (Pin 8) | Device common | Low-impedance ground connection point; must tie to PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-resistor gain programming | Gain set from 0 dB to 26 dB using one external RG (e.g., 100 Ω → 10 dB), eliminating complex feedback networks |
| Adjustable output common-mode | VOCM pin allows precise matching to ADC reference voltage (e.g., 2.4 V for AD6645), eliminating level-shifting circuitry |
| Fast overdrive recovery | <2 ns recovery from large-signal overdrive ensures clean transient response in burst-mode or pulsed IF systems |
| Power-down mode | PWUP pin reduces supply current to near-zero while maintaining 60 dB reverse isolation - ideal for TDD or channel-multiplexed architectures |
| Low noise + high linearity coexistence | 2.70 nV/√Hz input noise + 31 dBm OIP3 enables simultaneous high SNR and high SFDR in wideband receivers |
Applications
| Differential ADC Driver | SAW Filter Interface |

| RF/IF Gain Block | Single-Ended-to-Differential Conversion |
|
Use Scenario: Cascaded gain stage in 70–140 MHz IF chain prior to mixer or demodulator.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential RF/IF amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6554MA/NOPB | Higher bandwidth (4 GHz), higher supply current (42 mA), fixed 10 dB gain; no VOCM or PWUP control | Better suited for >500 MHz IF or optical front ends; lacks common-mode adjustment for ADC interfacing | Select when absolute bandwidth >3 GHz is required and power budget allows; avoid when VOCM alignment or power gating is needed. |
| ADA4940-1ARZ | Lower bandwidth (600 MHz), lower distortion (−92 dBc HD2 at 70 MHz), rail-to-rail output; no power-down pin | Optimized for precision low-frequency ADC drivers (≤100 MHz); not rated for >200 MHz RF use | Select for sub-100 MHz high-SFDR applications where ultra-low distortion outweighs bandwidth; avoid for 200+ MHz IF stages. |
Compared with LMH6554MA/NOPB and ADA4940-1ARZ, the AD8351ACPZ-R7 uniquely balances 2.2 GHz bandwidth, programmable gain, VOCM control, and power-down capability - making it the only choice among the three for reconfigurable, low-power, ADC-coupled IF gain blocks operating up to 240 MHz.

FAQ
What is the recommended gain resistor value for 12 dB gain with AD8351ACPZ-R7?
The AD8351ACPZ-R7 achieves 12 dB gain with an external RG of 62 Ω (±1% tolerance) when driving a 150 Ω differential load. This value is specified in Figure 5 and Table 4 of the Rev. D datasheet. Using a 62 Ω resistor yields ±1 dB gain accuracy across temperature and supply variations, and maintains the 2.2 GHz −3 dB bandwidth characteristic.
Can AD8351ACPZ-R7 drive a 1 kΩ differential load effectively?
Yes, the AD8351ACPZ-R7 can drive a 1 kΩ differential load, delivering 10 dB gain with 200 MHz 0.1 dB flatness and −95 dBc HD2/−93 dBc HD3 at 10 MHz. However, bandwidth drops to 3 GHz at 6 dB gain and output swing is reduced versus 150 Ω loading; for optimal SFDR above 70 MHz, 150 Ω termination is preferred.
How does the PWUP pin function in AD8351ACPZ-R7 power-down mode?
The PWUP pin on AD8351ACPZ-R7 is a TTL/CMOS-compatible enable input: applying ≥1.3 V activates the amplifier; pulling ≤0.8 V disables it, reducing quiescent current to <100 μA and providing >60 dB reverse isolation. No external pull-down is required - the internal bias ensures reliable disable state.
What is the maximum input signal level before compression occurs in AD8351ACPZ-R7?
The AD8351ACPZ-R7 exhibits 1 dB compression at +13.3 dBm output (13.3 mW) for a 70 MHz tone into 150 Ω, corresponding to ~2.0 V p-p differential output. Input-referred 1 dB compression is approximately −10 dBm, assuming 10 dB gain. Exceeding this degrades SFDR and introduces measurable third-order IMD.
Is AD8351ACPZ-R7 compatible with 3.3 V supply operation?
Yes, AD8351ACPZ-R7 operates fully specified from 3 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, it delivers 2.75 nV/√Hz noise, −80 dBc HD2/−69 dBc HD3 at 70 MHz, and 29 dBm OIP3 - all within datasheet limits. Quiescent current drops to ~22 mA, enabling lower-power IF gain staging without sacrificing linearity.
