GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADL8201 is a DC to 30GHz, high power, reflective RF limiter

ensuring protection of sensitive circuitry.

Typical insertion loss, input return loss (RFIN), and flat leakage

are 0.7dB, 18dB, and 15dBm, respectively, from 20GHz to 30GHz.

The ADL8201 can withstand 37dBm continuous wave at 6GHz and

>44dBm pulsed RF input to 2GHz. The recovery time is less than

10ns. The ADL8201 is internally matched to 50Ω and does not

require any external circuitry.

The ADL8201 is fabricated on a gallium arsenide (GaAs) and

housed in an RoHS-compliant, 2mm × 2mm × 0.85mm, 8-lead

LFCSP. The ADL8201 is specified for operation over an extended

temperature range of −55°C to +125°C.
