Power Supply

The voltage supply for the ADL5604, which ranges from 4.75 V

to 5.25 V, should be connected to the VCC1 pin. The dc bias to

the output stage is supplied through L1 and is connected to the

RFOUT pin. Three decoupling capacitors, C6, C7, and C8, are

used to prevent RF signals from propagating on the dc lines. The

VBIAS and VCC2 pins are connected to the main supply voltage,

VCC1, through the R2 and R5 resistors. Additional decoupling

capacitors, C9, C10, C11, and C12, are required on the VCC2

and VBIAS pins.

RF Input Interface

Pin 1 and Pin 2 are the RF input pins for ADL5604. The RF

input is easily matched with two or three components and a

microstrip line used as an inductor. If additional inductance is

required, C3 can be replaced with an inductor. See the ADL5604

Match section for the component values and spacing for the

different frequency bands.

RF Output Interface

Pin 9 to Pin 12 are used as the RF output pins. The C5 shunt

capacitor and the inductance from the microstrip line match RF

output to 50 Ω. See the ADL5604 Match section for the com-

ponent values and spacing for the different frequency bands.

Power-Down Circuit

Device U2 and its associated circuitry can be used to power

down the ADL5604. To connect U2, remove the R2 resistor and

place a 0 Ω resistor in place of R4.
