Analog Devices Inc. ADL5358ACPZ-R2

Overview

ADL5358ACPZ-R2 from Analog Devices is a 700 MHz to 1000 MHz integrated RF mixer with 24 dB conversion gain, 9.5 dB noise figure, and +27 dBm IIP3, designed for high-linearity receiver front-ends in cellular infrastructure and point-to-point radio systems.

For engineers reviewing the ADL5358ACPZ-R2 datasheet, ADL5358ACPZ-R2 pinout, ADL5358ACPZ-R2 application, or ADL5358ACPZ-R2 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-pin LFCSP package, LO drive requirement of −3 dBm, single-ended RF/LO inputs, differential IF output, and operation from a 5 V supply with 120 mA quiescent current.

Technical Context

The ADL5358ACPZ-R2 integrates a double-balanced passive mixer core with on-chip LO amplifier and broadband baluns, enabling single-ended RF and LO interface while delivering differential IF output. Its architecture supports wideband operation without external matching components across 700–1000 MHz.

It features internal biasing and temperature-stable gain response, with specified performance over −40°C to +85°C. The device requires no external DC blocking or biasing circuitry on RF/LO paths, simplifying front-end design for fixed wireless access and macro base station receivers.

FAQ

What is the recommended LO drive level for stable operation of the ADL5358ACPZ-R2?

The ADL5358ACPZ-R2 is characterized for optimal performance at −3 dBm LO input power. Operating below −5 dBm degrades conversion gain and increases noise figure; exceeding 0 dBm risks LO port compression and reduced IIP3. The ADL5358ACPZ-R2 integrates an LO amplifier that eliminates need for external buffering when driven from low-power PLL/VCO sources.

Does the ADL5358ACPZ-R2 require external baluns for RF or LO signal routing?

No, the ADL5358ACPZ-R2 integrates broadband on-chip baluns for both RF and LO ports, enabling direct connection of single-ended 50 Ω sources without external transformers or couplers. This integration reduces board area, insertion loss, and component count in the ADL5358ACPZ-R2 signal path.

What is the thermal resistance (θ_JA) of the ADL5358ACPZ-R2 in its 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package?

The ADL5358ACPZ-R2 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θ_JA) of 38°C/W when mounted on a standard 4-layer PCB with 1-in² copper pour under the exposed paddle. This value assumes proper soldering of the paddle to ground plane per Analog Devices' layout guidelines for the ADL5358ACPZ-R2.

Can the ADL5358ACPZ-R2 be used in a zero-IF (direct-conversion) receiver architecture?

Yes, the ADL5358ACPZ-R2 supports zero-IF operation with its differential IF output and balanced internal topology. However, its specified performance is optimized for low-IF applications (e.g., 120–240 MHz); DC offset and I/Q imbalance must be managed externally when implementing true zero-IF with the ADL5358ACPZ-R2.

Is the ADL5358ACPZ-R2 RoHS compliant and lead-free?

Yes, the ADL5358ACPZ-R2 is RoHS compliant and lead-free, manufactured in accordance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and Analog Devices' green packaging standards. The LFCSP package uses matte tin finish on all leads and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3).
