APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

BASIC LAYOUT CONNECTIONS

The basic connections for operating the ADL5606 are shown

in Figure 32. The RF matching components correspond to the

2140 MHz frequency tuning band.

Power Supply

The voltage supply for the ADL5606, which ranges from 4.75 V

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

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

the RFOUT pin. Three decoupling capacitors (C7, C8, and C9)

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

The VBIAS and VCC pins can be directly connected to the main

supply voltage. Additional decoupling capacitors (C5, C6, and

C11) are required on the VCC pin.

RF Input Interface

Pin 1 is the RF input pin for the ADL5606. The RF input is easily

matched with one capacitor, in a series or shunt configuration,

and a microstrip line used as an inductor. For the 1960 MHz and

2140 MHz frequency tuning bands, a shunt capacitor is used to

match the input to 50 Ω; for the 2630 MHz frequency tuning

band, a series capacitor is used.

For complete information about component values and spacing

for the different frequency tuning bands, see the ADL5606

Matching section.

RF Output Interface

Pin 9 to Pin 12 are the RF output pins. The RF output requires

only one shunt capacitor and a microstrip line used as an inductor

to match to 50 Ω. For complete information about component

values and spacing for the different frequency tuning bands, see

the ADL5606 Matching section.

Power-Down

The ADL5606 can be disabled by connecting the DISABLE pin

to 5 V. When disabled, the ADL5606 draws approximately

4 mA of current from the power supply and 1.4 mA from the

DISABLE pin. Decoupling Capacitor C3 is recommended to

prevent the propagation of RF signals. To completely shut

down the device, connect the VCC pin, the VBIAS pin, and the

VCC1 test pin to ground. In this state, the part draws

approximately 1.4 mA from the DISABLE pin.
