PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD8353 is a broadband, fixed-gain linear amplifier that
operates at frequencies from 100 MHz up to 2.7 GHz. It is
intended for use in a wide variety of wireless devices including
cellular, broadband, CATV, and LMDS/MMDS applications.
By taking advantage of Analog Devices’ high-performance
complementary Si bipolar process, these gain blocks provide
excellent stability over process, temperature, and power supply.
This amplifier is single-ended and internally matched to 50 Ω
with a return loss of greater than 10 dB over the full operating
frequency range.
The AD8353 provides linear output power of 9 dBm
of gain at 900 MHz when biased at 3 V and an
choke is connected between the power supply and the output
pin. The dc supply current is 42 mA. At 900 MHz,
order intercept (OIP3) is greater than 23 dBm,
at 2.7 GHz.

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD8353 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

The AD8353 is a two-stage feedback amplifier employing both
shunt-series and shunt-shunt feedback. The first stage is degenerated and resistively loaded, and provides approximately 10 dB
of gain. The second stage is a PNP-NPN Darlington output
stage, which provides another 10 dB of gain. Series-shunt feedback from the emitter of the output transistor sets the input
APPLICATIONS
The AD8353 RF Gain Block may be used as a general purpose
fixed-gain amplifier in a wide variety of applications, such as a
driver for a transmitter power amplifier (Figure 1). Its excellent
reverse isolation also makes this amplifier suitable for use as a
local oscillator buffer amplifier that would drive the local oscilla-
tor port of an up or down converter mixer (Figure 2).
impedance to 50 Ω over a broad frequency range. Shunt-shunt
feedback from the amplifier output to the input of the Darlington
stage helps to set the output impedance to 50 Ω. The amplifier
can be operated from a 3 V supply by adding a choke inductor
from the amplifier output to VPOS. Without
this choke induc-
tor, operation from a 5 V supply is also possible.
BASIC CONNECTIONS
The AD8353 RF Gain Block is a fixed-gain amplifier with
single-ended input and output ports whose impedances are
nominally equal to 50 Ω over the frequency range 100 MHz to
2.7 GHz. Consequently, it can be directly inserted into a 50 Ω
system with no impedance-matching circuitry required. The input
and output impedances are sufficiently stable versus variations
in temperature and supply voltage that no impedance matching
compensation is required. A complete set of scattering parameters
is available at the Analog Devices website (www.analog.com).
The input pin (INPT) is connected directly to the base of the
first amplifier stage, which is internally biased to approximately 1 V,
so a dc-blocking capacitor should be connected between the
source that drives the AD8353 and the input pin, INPT.
INPUT
It is critical to supply very low inductance ground connections
to the ground pins (pins 1, 4, 5, and 8) as well as to the backside exposed paddle. This will ensure stable operation.
The AD8353 is designed to operate over a wide supply voltage
range, from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The output of the part, VOUT, is
taken directly from the collector of the output amplifier stage.
This node is internally biased to approximately 2.2 V when the
supply voltage is 5 V. Consequently, a dc-blocking capacitor
should be connected between the output pin, VOUT, and the
load that it drives. The value of this capacitor is not critical, but
it should be 100 pF or larger.
When the supply voltage is 3 V, it is recommended that an
external RF choke be connected between the supply voltage and
EVALUATION BOARD
Figure 3 shows the schematic of the AD8353 evaluation board.
Note that L1 is shown as an optional component that is used to
obtain maximum gain only when VP = 3 V. The board is powered
by a single supply in the range 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The power supply
is decoupled by a 0.47 µF and a 100 pF capacitor.
the output pin, VOUT. This will increase the dc voltage applied
to the collector of the output amplifier stage, which will improve
performance of the AD8353 to be very similar to the performance
produced when 5 V is used for the supply voltage. The inductance
of the RF choke should be approximately 100 nH, and care should
be taken to ensure that the lowest series self-resonant frequency
