SGA3486Z SGA3486ZDC to 5000MHz, Cascadable SiGe HBT MMIC Amplifier DC to 5000MHz, CASCADABLE SiGe HBT MMIC AMPLIFIER Package: SOT-86 Product Description Features The SGA3486Z 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. 24 GaAs MESFET GAIN InGaP HBT 18 Gain (dB) -10 IRL 12 -20 ORL 6 GaAs pHEMT Si CMOS 0 -30 0 Si BJT Return Loss (dB) GaAs HBT SiGe HBT Gain & Return Loss vs. Frequency VD= 2.9 V, ID= 35 mA (Typ.)
