Product Description
NGA-386
Stanford Microdevices’ NGA-386 is a high performance
Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor MMIC
Amplifier. Designed with InGaP process technology for
improved reliability, a Darlington configuration is utilized for
broadband performance up to 5 Ghz. The heterojunction
increases breakdown voltage and minimizes leakage current
between junctions. Cancellation of emitter junction
non-linearities results in higher suppression of intermodulation
products.

RF input pin. This pin requires the use of
an external DC blocking capacitor chosen
for the frequency of operation.
Connection to ground. For best
performance use via holes (as close to
ground leads as possible) to reduce lead
inductance.
RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is
present on this pin, therefore a DC
blocking capacitor is necessary for
proper operation.
Same as Pin 2.
