Low quiescent current of 55 mA Wide operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C Thermally efficient SOT-89 package ESD rating of ±1.5 kV (Class 1C) GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADL5544 is a single-ended RF/IF gain block amplifier The ADL5544 is fabricated on an InGaP HBT process and has that provides broadband operation from 30 MHz to 6 GHz. a high ESD rating of ±1.5 kV (Class 1C). The ADL5544 is also The ADL5544 provides over 34 dBm of OIP3 using only 55 mA fully specified for operation across the wide temperature range of from a 5 V supply. −40°C to +105°C. A fully populated RoHS-compliant evaluation board is available. The ADL5544 provides a gain of 17 dB, which is stable over frequency, temperature, power supply, and from device to device. The amplifier is offered in the industry-standard SOT-89 package and is internally matched to 50 Ω at the input and output, making the ADL5544 very easy to implement in a wide variety of applica- tions. The only external components required are the input/output ac coupling capacitors, power supply decoupling capacitors, and dc bias inductor. Rev.

Recommended Land Pattern The land pattern on the ADL5544 evaluation board provides a measured thermal resistance (θ ) of 53°C/W. To measure θ , JA JA the temperature at the top of the SOT-89 package is found with an IR temperature gun. Thermal simulation suggests a junction temperature 10°C higher than the top-of-package temperature. With additional measurements of the ambient temperature and I/O power, θ can be determined. JA Rev.
