The ADL5350 is a high linearity, up-and-down converting mixer capable of operating over a broad input frequency range. It is well suited for demanding cellular base station mixer designs that require high sensitivity and effective suppression of second-order harmonics.
The ADL5350 is a broadband up‑and‑down converting mixer built on a GaAs pHEMT process. It offers low conversion loss, low noise figure, and high input linearity, making it suitable for cellular base‑station and point‑to‑point radio applications. The device operates from –40 °C to +85 °C and requires a single 3 V supply.
The datasheet provides detailed specifications, absolute maximum ratings, pin descriptions, typical performance curves, and an optional evaluation board with two frequency‑band configurations. Ordering information and package dimensions are also included.
