SGA9189Z SGA9189Z Medium Power Discrete SiGe Transistor Medium Power Discrete SiGe Transistor Package: SOT-89 Product Description Features RFMD’s SGA9189Z is a high performance transistor designed for operation to 3GHz. With optimal matching at 2GHz, OIP3 = 39dBm, and P1dB = 25.5dBm. This RF device is based on a silicon germanium heterostructure bipolar transistor (SiGe HBT) process. The SGA9189Z is cost-effective for applications requiring high linearity even at moderate biasing levels. It is well suited for operation at both 5V and 3V. The matte tin finish on the 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.
