Basic Connections BASIC CONNECTIONS To enable the ADL5331, the ENBL pin must be pul ed high. Figure 15 shows the basic connections for operating the Taking ENBL low puts the ADL5331 in sleep mode, reducing ADL5331. There are two positive supplies, VPS1 and VPS2, current consumption to 250 µA at an ambient temperature. which must be connected to the same potential. Connect COM1 The voltage on ENBL must be greater than 1.7 V to enable the and COM2 (common pins) to a low impedance ground plane. device. When enabled, the device draws 100 mA at low gain to 215 mA at maximum gain. Apply a power supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V to VPS1 and VPS2. Connect decoupling capacitors with 100 pF The ADL5331 is primarily designed for differential signals; and 0.1 µF power supplies close to each power supply pin. The however, there are several configurations that can be imple- VPS2 pins (Pins 13 and Pin 18 through Pin 22) can share a pair mented to interface the ADL5331 to single-ended applications. of decoupling capacitors because of their proximity to each other. Figure 16 and Figure 17 show options for differential-to-single- ended interfaces. Both configurations use ac-coupling capacitors The outputs of the ADL5331, OPHI and OPLO, are open at the input/output and RF chokes at the output. collectors that need to be pulled up to the positive supply +5V with 120 nH RF chokes. The ac-coupling capacitors and the RF chokes are the principle limitations for operation at 120nH low frequencies. For example, to operate down to 1 MHz, use 0.1 µF ac coupling capacitors and 1.5 µH RF chokes. Note 120nH that in some circumstances, the use of substantially larger ADL5331 inductor values results in oscillations. 10nFRF VGA10nFRFININHIOPHIRFOUT Because the differential outputs are biased to the positive INLOOPLO supply, ac-coupling capacitors (preferably 100 pF) are needed 10nF10nF 018 between the ADL5331 outputs and the next stage in the system.

Operation using M/A-COM ETC1-1-13 transmission line transformer baluns is recommended for a broadband interface; however, narrow- band baluns can be used for applications requiring lower insertion loss over smaller bandwidths.
