ADL5357 is a 500 MHz to 1700 MHz balanced mixer with integrated LO buffer, IF amplifier, and RF balun. The device uses a highly linear, doubly balanced passive mixer core along with integrated RF and LO balancing circuitry to allow for single-ended operation. The ADL5357 also incorporates a high isolation SPDT LO input switch and supports single-supply operation (3.3 V to 5 V).
The ADL5357 is a highly linear, doubly balanced passive mixer with integrated RF and LO balancing circuitry. It operates from 500 MHz to 1700 MHz RF and 30 MHz to 450 MHz IF, offering a typical power conversion gain of about 8.6 dB at a 5 V supply. The device includes a high‑isolation SPDT LO switch, single‑ended 50 Ω ports, and can run from 3.3 V to 5 V.
The datasheet provides detailed specifications, pin configuration, typical performance graphs, absolute maximum ratings, and ordering information for the 5 mm × 5 mm 20‑lead LFCSP package. It also lists typical applications such as cellular base‑station receivers and radio‑link downconverters.
