GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5391 draws on three decades of experience in
advanced analog multiplier products. It provides the same
general mathematical function that has been field proven to
provide an exceptional degree of versatility in function synthesis.

The most significant advance in the ADL5391 is the use of a
new multiplier core architecture, which differs markedly from
the conventional form that has been in use since 1970. The
conventional structure that employs a current mode, translinear
core is fundamentally asymmetric with respect to the X and Y
inputs, leading to relative amplitude and timing misalignments
that are problematic at high frequencies. The new multiplier
core eliminates these misalignments by offering symmetric
signal paths for both X and Y inputs. The Z input allows a signal
to be added directly to the output. This can be used to cancel a
carrier or to apply a static offset voltage.
The fully differential X, Y, and Z input interfaces are operational
over a ±2 V range, and they can be used in single-ended fashion.
The user can apply a common mode at these inputs to vary
from the internally set V

interfaces each present a differential 500 Ω input impedance up to
approximately 700 MHz, decreasing to 50 Ω at 2 GHz. The gain
scaling input, GADJ, can be used for fine adjustment of the gain

common-mode and can be taken in a single-ended fashion as
well. The output common mode is designed to interface directly
to the inputs of another ADL5391. Light dc loads can be ground
referenced; however, ac-coupling of the outputs is recommended
for heavy loads.
The ENBL pin allows the ADL5391 to be disabled quickly to a
standby mode. It operates off supply voltages from 4.5 V to
5.5 V while consuming approximately 130 mA.
The ADL5391 is fabricated on Analog Devices proprietary, high
performance, 65 GHz, SOI complementary, SiGe bipolar IC
process. It is available in a 16-lead, Pb-free, LFCSP and operates
over a −40°C to +85°C temperature range. Evaluation boards
are available.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
