ADI’s RF IC Portfolio Covers Entire RF Signal Chain
Using a unique combination of design skills, systems understanding, and
process technologies, Analog Devices offers the broadest portfolio of RF ICs,
covering the entire RF signal chain, from industry-leading high performance
RF function blocks to highly integrated ISM band single chip transceiver
solutions. The RF function blocks include PLL, integrated PLL/VCO, and DDS
synthesizers; TruPwr™ rms power detectors and logarithmic amplifiers;
variable gain amplifiers; low noise amplifiers and other amplifiers; RF
mixers and direct conversion modulator and demodulator products. In
addition, ADI delivers world-leading data converters, amplifiers, MEMs,
DSPs (digital signal processors), and power management ICs. Together,
these technologies form complete designs and play a fundamental role
in converting, conditioning, and processing real-world phenomena in a
wide array of applications. These products are supported by a wide range
of design resources to ease the development of RF systems, including free
design tools, Circuits from the Lab™ reference circuits, and the EngineerZone™
technical forums. For more information, visit www.analogrf.

Design Resources
Analog Devices’ Circuits from the Lab™ reference circuits are engineered and tested for
quick and easy system integration to help solve today’s analog, mixed-signal, and RF design
challenges. These circuits represent easy-to-understand subsystem level building blocks
intended for time-saving evaluation and easy integration.
All of our reference circuits have been thoroughly documented, and new circuits provide test
data, design/layout guidelines, schematics, PCB layout files, bill of materials, and device
drives (when applicable). Evaluation hardware is also available for most new circuits.
