SBA-4086 Product Description SBA-4086Z Sirenza Microdevices’ SBA-4086 is a high performance InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor MMIC Amplifier. A Darlington configuration designed with InGaP process technology provides broadband performance up to 5 GHz with excellent thermal perfomance. The heterojunction increases breakdown voltage and minimizes leakage current between junctions. Cancellation of emitter junction non-linearities results in higher suppression of intermodulation products. Only a single positive supply voltage, DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor, and an optional RF choke are required for operation. RoHS Compliant & Green Package DC-5 GHz, Cascadable InGaP/GaAs HBT MMIC Amplifier Product Features The matte tin finish on Sirenza’s lead-free package utilizes a post annealing process to mitigate tin whisker formation and is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2002/95. This package is also manufactured with green molding compounds that contain no antimony trioxide nor halogenated fire retardants. • Now available in Lead Free, RoHS Compliant, & Green Packaging • IP3 = 33.5dBm @ 1950MHz • Pout=12.3dBm @-45dBc ACP IS-95 1950MHz • Robust 1000V ESD, Class 1C • Operates From Single Supply • Patented Thermal Design Gain and Return Loss vs Frequency 20 15 10 Pb S21 Applications 5 0 • PA Driver Amplifier • Cellular, PCS, GSM, UMTS • IF Amplifier • Wireless Data, Satellite Terminals dB -5 s22 -10 -15 -20 -25 -30 s11 -35 -40 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Frequency (GHz) Sym bol G P P U n it s F re q u e n c y M in .
