SGA4586Z SGA4586ZDC to 4000MHz, Cascadable SiGe HBT MMIC Amplifier DC to 4000MHz, CASCADABLE SiGe HBT MMIC AMPLIFIER Package: SOT-86 Product Description Features The SGA4586Z 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.
