Data Sheet ADL5321
BASIC LAYOUT CONNECTIONS
The basic connections for operating the ADL5321 are shown
in Figure 28.
Tabl e 6 lists the required matching components. Capacitors
C1, C2, C3, C4, and C7 are Murata GRM155 series (0402 size)
and Inductor L1 is a Coilcraft 0603CS series (0603 size). For all
frequency bands, the placement of C3 and C7 is critical. From
2500 MHz to 2700 MHz, the placement of C1 is also important.
Tabl e 7 lists the recommended component placement for
various frequencies.
A 5 V dc bias is supplied through L1 that is connected to RFOUT
(Pin 3). In addition to C4, 10 nF and 10 μF power supply
decoupling capacitors are also required. The typical current
consumption for the ADL5321 is 90 mA.

SOLDERING INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDED
PCB LAND PATTERN
Figure 29 shows the recommended land pattern for the ADL5321.
To minimize thermal impedance, the exposed paddle on the
SOT-89 package underside is soldered down to a ground plane
along with (GND) Pin 2. If multiple ground layers exist, they
should be stitched together using vias. For more information on
land pattern design and layout, refer to the AN-772 Application
Note, A Design and Manufacturing Guide for the Lead Frame
Chip Scale Package (LFCSP).
This land pattern, on the ADL5321 evaluation board, provides
a measured thermal resistance (θ
JA
) of 35°C/W. To measure θ
JA
,
the temperature at the top of the SOT-89 package is found with
an IR temperature gun. Thermal simulation suggests a junction
temperature 10°C higher than the top of package temperature.
With additional ambient temperature and I/O power measure-
ments, θ
JA
could be determined.
