Device Overview

General Description

The ADM-8622PSM is a high-linearity low noise amplifier capable of providing 15.5 dB gain, 2 dB noise figure and +26 dBm OIP3 up to 10 GHz. The amplifier is suitable for use in RF front-ends requiring low noise, high gain and excellent signal fidelity. The ADM-8622PSM performs well down to DC and its low frequency performance is limited only by the frequency response of the input and output bias tees present in the application circuit. The ADM-8622PSM is available in a very compact 1.3x2mm DFN package.

Port Functions

PortFunctionDescriptionDC Equivalent
Circuit
PaddleGnd Package ground paddle must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity.-
Pin 1Vref Pin 1 provides a voltage reference to bias Pin 2. Pin 1 and pin 2 must be DC coupled but RF isolated by a choke. For proper operation, DO NOT ground this pin nor leave it floating . See application section for more details.-
Pin 2RF Input Pin 2 is the RF Input port of the amplifier. It is internally RF matched to 50 Ω and requires an external DC blocking cap. Pin 2 must be DC coupled to Pin 1 voltage reference through an RF choke for biasing.-
Pin 3ACG Pin 3 should be AC grounded using a series RC network. See application section for details. DO NOT DC GROUND THIS PIN.-
Pin 4,6NC Pin 4 and Pin 6 are internally no-connects and should be connected to DC/RF ground. -
Pin 5RF Out / Vd Pin 5 is the RF Output port and is also the Vd port providing the main power supply to the amplifier. This pin is DC coupled and requires an external bias-T or discrete choke and DC blocking capacitor. This port is RF matched to 50 Ω. DC voltage at this pin should be set to 3.3V for normal operation.-

Specifications

Absolute Maximum Ratings

The Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage may occur to the device. If any one of these limits are exceeded, the device may become inoperable or have a reduced lifetime. Reliability limits are individual, instantaneous catastrophic limits only. Functional operation limits are indicated below. Operation of the device at multiple absolute maximum limits or for extended periods at a single limit can cause degradation and damage to the device.
