400 MHz to 2700 MHz 1/4 Watt RF Driver Amplifier ADL5320 Data Sheet FEATURES FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM Operation: 400 MHz to 2700 MHz Gain of 16.9 dB at 880 MHz OIP3 of 45.0 dBm at 880 MHz P1dB of 25.4 dBm at 880 MHz Noise figure: 4.1 dB at 880 MHz Power supply voltage: 3.3 V to 5 V Power supply current: 44 mA to 104 mA Dynamically adjustable bias No bias resistor required Thermally efficient, MSL-1 rated SOT-89 package Operating temperature range: -40C to +105C ESD rating of 4 kV (Class 3A) GND (2) ADL5320 2 3 RFIN GND RFOUT 05840-001 BIAS 1 Figure 1. APPLICATIONS Wireless infrastructure Automated test equipment ISM/AMR applications GENERAL DESCRIPTION -20 -30 -40 SOURCE VCC = 5V VCC = 3.3V -50 -60 -70 -80 -90 -20 -15 -10 -5 0 5 POUT (dBm) 10 15 20 05840-131 The ADL5320 is also rated to operate across the wide temperature range of -40C to +105C for reliable performance in designs that experience higher temperatures, such as power amplifiers. The 14 watt driver amplifier also covers the 400 MHz to 2700 MHz wide frequency range and only requires a few external components to be tuned to a specific band within that wide range. This high performance, broadband RF driver amplifier is well suited for a variety of wired and wireless applications including cellular infrastructure, ISM band power amplifiers, defense equipment, and instrumentation equipment. A fully populated evaluation board is available. The ADL5320 also delivers excellent adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) vs. output power and bias voltage. The driver can deliver greater than 17 dBm of output power at 2140 MHz while achieving an ACPR of -55 dBc at 5 V. If the bias is reduced to 3.3 V, the -55 dBc ACPR output power reduces to 9 dBm. ACPR @ 5MHz CARRIER OFFSET (dBc) The ADL5320 incorporates a dynamically adjustable biasing circuit that allows for the customization of OIP3 and P1dB performance from 3.3 V to 5 V without the need for an external bias resistor. This feature gives the designer the ability to tailor driver amplifier performance to the specific needs of the design. This feature also creates the opportunity for dynamic biasing of the driver amplifier, where a variable supply is used to allow for full 5 V biasing under large signal conditions and then can reduce the supply voltage when signal levels are smaller and lower power consumption is desirable. This scalability reduces the need to evaluate and inventory multiple driver amplifiers for different output power requirements from 22 dBm to 26 dBm output power levels. Figure 2.

Table 6 lists the required matching components. Capacitors C1, C2, C3, C4, and C7 are Murata GRM155 series (0402 size) and Inductor L1 is a Coilcraft 0603CS series (0603 size). For all frequency bands, the placement of C3 and C7 are critical. From 2300 MHz to 2700 MHz, the placement of C2 is also important. Table 7 lists the recommended component placement for various frequencies. A 5 V dc bias is supplied through L1 which is connected to RFOUT (Pin 3). In addition to C4, 10 nF and 10 F power supply decoupling capacitors are also required. The typical current consumption for the ADL5320 is 110 mA. GND along with Pin 2. If multiple ground layers exist, stitch them together using vias. For more information on land pattern design and layout, refer to the Application Note AN-772, A Design and Manufacturing Guide for the Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP). The land pattern on the ADL5320 evaluation board provides a measured thermal resistance (JA) of 35C/W. To measure JA, the temperature at the top of the SOT-89 package is found with an IR temperature gun. Thermal simulation suggests a junction temperature 10C higher than the top of the package temperature. With additional ambient temperature and I/O power measurements, JA can be determined. 1.80mm VSUP (2) GND C6 10F C5 10nF 3.48mm C41 ADL5320 0.20mm 1 2 3 22 32 C31 5.56mm 1 42 C2 RFOUT C71 0.86mm 05840-026 12 RFOUT C11 GND RFIN RFIN L11 0.62mm 1SEE TABLE 5 FOR FREQUENCY SPECIFIC COMPONENTS. 2SEE TABLE 10 FOR RECOMMENDED COMPONENT SPACING. 1.27mm SOLDERING INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDED PCB LAND PATTERN 05840-027 Figure 34.

To achieve this, both input and output matching networks must present specific impedance to the device. The matching components listed in Table 7 were chosen to provide -10 dB input return loss while maximizing OIP3. The load-pull plots (Figure 36, Figure 37, and Figure 38) show the load impedance points on the Smith chart where optimum OIP3, gain, and output power can be achieved. These load impedance values (that is, the impedance that the device sees when looking into the output matching network) are listed in Table 8 and Table 9 for maximum gain and maximum OIP3, respectively. The contours show how each parameter degrades as it is moved away from the optimum point. From the data shown in Table 8 and Table 9 it becomes clear that maximum gain and maximum OIP3 do not occur at the same impedance. This can also be seen on the load-pull contours in Figure 36 through Figure 38. Thus, output matching generally involves compromising between gain and OIP3. In addition, the load-pull plots demonstrate that the quality of the output impedance match must be compromised to optimize gain and/or OIP3. In most applications where line lengths are short and where the next device in the signal chain presents a low input return loss, compromising on the output match is acceptable. 05840-028 MATCHING PROCEDURE Figure 36. Load-Pull Contours, 880 MHz To adjust the output match for operation at a different frequency or if a different trade-off between OIP3, gain, and output impedance is desired, the following procedure is recommended. 2. 3. 4. Install the recommended tuning components for a 800 MHz to 960 MHz tuning band, but do not install C3 and C7. Connect the evaluation board to a vector network analyzer so that input and output return loss can be viewed simultaneously. Starting with the recommended values and positions for C3 and C7, adjust the positions of these capacitors along the transmission line until the return loss and gain are acceptable. Push-down capacitors that are mounted on small sticks can be used in this case as an alternative to soldering. If moving the component positions does not yield satisfactory results, then the values of C3 and C7 should be increased or decreased (most likely increased in this case as the user is tuning for a lower frequency). Repeat the process. Once the desired gain and return loss are realized, OIP3 should be measured. Most likely, it will be necessary to go back and forth between return loss/gain and OIP3 measurements (probably compromising most on output return loss) until an acceptable compromise is achieved.

The signal type being used is a single W-CDMA carrier (Test Model 1-64) at 2140 MHz. This signal is generated by a very low ACPR source. ACPR is measured at the output by a high dynamic range spectrum analyzer, which incorporates an instrument noise correction function. -20 -30 -40 SOURCE VCC = 5V VCC = 3.3V -50 -60 -70 -80 -90 -20 -15 -10 -5 0 5 POUT (dBm) 10 15 20 05840-031 Frequency (MHz) 880 2140 2600 The ADL5320 achieves an ACPR of -80 dBc at 0 dBm output, at which point device noise and not distortion is beginning to dominate the power in the adjacent channels.
