ADL8108-EVALZ

ADL8108-EVALZ is a evaluation board to evaluate the ADL8108 1GHz to 8GHz, low noise amplifier with integrated temperature sensor and enable and disable function. This is a 4-layer printed circuit board (PCB) fabricated from 10mil thick, Rogers 4350B and Isola 370HR, copper clad, forming a nominal thickness of 62 mils. The RFIN and RFOUT ports on the ADL8108-EVALZ are populated with 2.92mm, female coaxial connectors, and the corresponding RF traces have a 50 ohm characteristic impedance. The ADL8108-EVALZ is populated with components suitable for use over the entire -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range of the ADL8108. To calibrate board trace losses, a through calibration path is provided between the J1 and J2 connectors. J1 and J2 must be populated with RF connectors to use the through calibration path. The power supply decoupling capacitors on the ADL8108-EVALZ represent the configuration used to characterize and qualify the device.
