Analog Devices · Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) - RF · QSOP-20-150mil

AD8331ARQZ-R7 from Analog Devices, in a QSOP-20-150mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 LMD passive LNA bias bypass pin; connect 18-22 nF capacitor to ground for mid-supply high-frequency bypassing
2 INH input LNA single-ended input, AC-coupled; accepts ±275 mV input signal range
3 VPSL power_in LNA 5 V power supply; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor to COML
4 LON output LNA inverting output, 19 dB differential gain, 5 Ω impedance; drive RIZ feedback resistor for input impedance matching
5 LOP output LNA non-inverting output, 19 dB differential gain, 5 Ω impedance; AC-couple through 0.1 µF capacitor to VIP
6 COML power_in LNA ground; connect to PCB ground plane and LMD bypass capacitor
7 VIP input VGA non-inverting input, 100 Ω differential impedance; AC-coupled from LOP through 0.1 µF capacitor
8 VIN power_in VGA inverting input, 100 Ω differential impedance; AC-coupled from LON through 0.1 µF capacitor
9 MODE input Gain slope select logic input; low selects ascending mode (50 dB/V), high selects descending mode (−50 dB/V) where available
10 GAIN input Gain control voltage input, 40 mV to 1.0 V range; 50 dB/V scale provides ±48 dB total gain adjustment; 10 MΩ input impedance
11 VCM input VGA common-mode voltage reference; default 2.5 V, externally adjustable 1.5 V to 3.5 V; bypass with 0.1 µF and 1 nF capacitors in parallel
12 RCLMP passive Output clamp level resistor connection; connect resistor to ground to program output voltage clamp threshold, 0.5 V to 4.4 V p-p range
13 HILO input Gain range select logic input; low selects LO mode (−4.5 to 43.5 dB), high selects HI mode (7.5 to 55.5 dB)
14 VPOS power_in VGA 5 V power supply; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor to COMM; separate supply rail from LNA VPSL
15 VOH output VGA non-inverting differential output, 1 Ω impedance; 2.5 V common mode ±1.125 V swing capability
16 VOL output VGA inverting differential output, 1 Ω impedance; 2.5 V common mode ±1.125 V swing capability
17 COMM power_in VGA ground; connect to PCB ground plane for output and supply return current
18 ENBV input VGA enable logic input; high enables VGA, low disables for reduced quiescent current; 40 kΩ input impedance
19 ENBL input LNA enable logic input; high enables LNA, low disables for reduced quiescent current; 25 kΩ input impedance
20 COMM power_in VGA ground; secondary ground connection for output return path current distribution
