I have designed a ADL5542 (Power Amplifier) PCB as per the specifications in the datasheet. I want to test the performance and ensure that the PCB works fine before I link them up with other PCBs. So, can someone guide me as to what tests/equipment I…
I am using the ADL5542, RF Power Amplifier. The datasheet mentions the use of 1uF decoupling capacitor at the power supply. Does the value have to be exactly 1uF or something close to it would also suffice? An explanation as to what this capacitor does…
I want to design a PCB which uses AD8318 and ADL5542. Unfortunately, I am unable to find the Eagle libraries for these ICs. Does anyone have these libraries?
Thanks.
Unfortunately, there isn't a drop in replacement for the ADL5602 that would be functional upto 6GHz. The ADL5542 is a comparable gain block that has a max operational frequency of 6GHz, but the device is packaged in a 8-lead LFCSP.
Hi Rich,
1. The modulus is related to the channel spacing or frequency steps. Gory details on how to calculate are in the ADF4153 etc. fractional N data sheets.
So as you step through channels you step through N, N+1, N+2 etc divided by the modulus…
