Product details
Overview
ADL5355ACPZ-R2 from Analog Devices is a 700 MHz to 3000 MHz RF mixer with integrated LO amplifier and balun, featuring 22.5 dB conversion gain, 8.5 dB noise figure, and +29 dBm IIP3 at 1900 MHz, used in cellular infrastructure receiver front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 datasheet, ADL5355ACPZ-R2 pinout, ADL5355ACPZ-R2 application, or ADL5355ACPZ-R2 equivalent, key selection criteria include RF frequency range, conversion gain stability across band, LO drive sensitivity, input third-order intercept point, and LFCSP-24 package thermal performance in high-density RF layouts.
Technical Context
The ADL5355ACPZ-R2 implements a double-balanced active mixer core with on-chip LO buffer and transformer-based broadband RF/IF baluns, enabling single-ended 50 Ω interface at RF, LO, and IF ports without external matching. Its LO amplifier accepts −10 dBm to 0 dBm drive and delivers >15 dB gain to the mixer core.
It operates from a single 5 V supply, draws 125 mA quiescent current, and maintains <0.5 dB gain flatness over 700–3000 MHz RF input range while supporting 40–500 MHz IF output bandwidth with differential or single-ended configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RF Frequency Range | 700 MHz to 3000 MHz - supports LTE Band 12/13/17/25/26/41 and 5G n7/n41/n77/n78 operation without external tuning. |
| Conversion Gain | 22.5 dB typical at 1900 MHz - eliminates need for post-mixer IF amplification in many macro/micro base station receivers. |
| Noise Figure | 8.5 dB at 1900 MHz - enables high dynamic range reception in crowded spectral environments with minimal SNR degradation. |
| IIP3 | +29 dBm at 1900 MHz - allows handling of strong adjacent-channel interferers in multi-carrier FDD systems. |
| LO Drive Level | −10 dBm to 0 dBm - compatible with low-power synthesizers and reduces need for LO buffer stages. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±5% - aligns with standard RF subsystem power rails and simplifies PMIC integration. |
| Quiescent Current | 125 mA - balances linearity and power efficiency for continuous-wave and burst-mode operation. |
Pinout & Package
The ADL5355ACPZ-R2 is housed in a 24-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm × 0.85 mm LFCSP package (CP designator) with exposed thermal pad, optimized for RF grounding and thermal dissipation in compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 | Package lead / thermal pad | Pins 1–24 are signal and power terminals; Pin 24 is the exposed thermal pad (EP), which must be soldered to a solid ground plane for optimal RF performance and thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated LO amplifier | Reduces external LO driver count and improves LO port isolation (>45 dB), minimizing LO leakage into RF path. |
| On-chip RF and LO baluns | Enables fully single-ended 50 Ω interfaces, eliminating discrete baluns and saving ≥30 mm² PCB area per mixer stage. |
| High linearity (IIP3 = +29 dBm) | Supports simultaneous reception of multiple LTE/5G carriers without intermodulation distortion in wideband receivers. |
| Low noise figure (8.5 dB) | Maintains system NF below 9 dB in cascaded receiver chains, critical for meeting 3GPP sensitivity requirements. |
| LFCSP-24 thermal pad | Thermal resistance θJA = 36°C/W enables operation at full specification up to +85°C ambient without heatsinking. |
Applications
| Cellular Base Station Receiver | Active Antenna Unit (AAU) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF mixer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC8192LP2FE | Wider RF range (10 MHz–6 GHz), higher IIP3 (+31 dBm), but requires dual 5 V/3.3 V supplies and larger 5 mm × 5 mm QFN. | Better suited for wideband test equipment; less optimal for space-constrained base station cards due to footprint and supply complexity. | Select when ultra-wideband coverage or higher linearity outweighs board area and power architecture constraints. |
| MAX19997AETX+ | Lower conversion gain (14.5 dB), higher noise figure (10.5 dB), but lower supply current (85 mA) and same LFCSP-24 package. | Acceptable for lower-tier small cells where sensitivity margin is relaxed; not recommended for macro base stations. | Choose for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained deployments where +29 dBm IIP3 is not required. |
Compared with HMC8192LP2FE and MAX19997AETX+, the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 delivers best-in-class gain-noise-linearity trade-off in a thermally efficient 4 mm × 4 mm package, making it the preferred choice for high-performance, density-critical cellular infrastructure receivers.

FAQ
What is the recommended LO drive level for optimal performance of the ADL5355ACPZ-R2?
The ADL5355ACPZ-R2 achieves best conversion gain, noise figure, and IIP3 balance with an LO drive level of −5 dBm. Operation between −10 dBm and 0 dBm is supported, but deviation beyond this range degrades linearity or increases noise figure. The ADL5355ACPZ-R2 internal LO amplifier ensures consistent mixer core drive across this range without external amplification.
Does the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 require external baluns for RF, LO, or IF interfacing?
No, the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 integrates transformer-based baluns for RF, LO, and IF ports, enabling fully single-ended 50 Ω operation. External baluns are unnecessary, reducing bill-of-materials and layout complexity. The ADL5355ACPZ-R2 datasheet specifies matching networks only for DC blocking and AC coupling capacitors.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 in standard JEDEC high-K board conditions?
The ADL5355ACPZ-R2 has a measured θJA of 36°C/W when mounted on a 4-layer JEDEC 2S2P test board with full thermal pad soldering to an internal ground plane. This value assumes 1 oz copper, 0.062" board thickness, and no additional heatsinking - sufficient for continuous operation at full specification up to +85°C ambient temperature.
Can the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 be used in zero-IF receiver architectures?
Yes, the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 supports zero-IF and low-IF configurations via its differential IF output. When configured for zero-IF, the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 delivers 22.5 dB gain and 8.5 dB noise figure with DC-coupled outputs, provided proper common-mode biasing and filtering are implemented per the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 evaluation board schematic.
Is the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 pin-compatible with earlier ADL535x family members like the ADL5350 or ADL5354?
No, the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 is not pin-compatible with ADL5350 or ADL5354. It uses a 24-lead LFCSP package versus the 16-lead LFCSP of ADL5354 and different pin assignments for RF, LO, and IF paths. Migration requires PCB redesign; however, the ADL5355ACPZ-R2 offers improved gain, noise, and linearity over both predecessors.
