SGA6386Z SGA6386ZDC to 5000MHz, Cascadable SiGe HBT MMIC Amplifier DC to 5000MHz, CASCADABLE SiGe HBT MMIC AMPLIFIER Package: SOT-86 Product Description Features The SGA6386Z is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC Amplifier. A Darlington configuration featuring one-micron emitters provides high FT and excellent thermal performance. 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 two DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor, and an optional RF choke are required for operation. 0 -10 Gain (dB) Si BiCMOS ORL 10 SiGe HBT GaAs pHEMT IRL 5 Si CMOS -20 TL=+25ºC -30 Return Loss (dB) 15 SiGe BiCMOS VD= 4.9 V, ID= 80 mA (Typ.)
