SGB-6433(Z) SGB-6433(Z) DC to 3.5GHz ACTIVE BIAS GAIN BLOCK RFMD Green, RoHS Compliant, Pb-Free (Z Part Number) Package: 3x3 QFN, 16-Pin Product Description Features RFMD’s SGB-6433 is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with an active bias network. The active bias network provides stable current over temperature and process Beta variations. Designed to run directly from a 5V supply the SGB-6433 does not require a drop resistor as compared to typical Darlington amplifiers. This robust amplifier features a Class 1C ESD rating, low thermal resistance , and unconditional stability. The SGB-6433 product is designed for high linearity 5V gain block applications that require small size and minimal external components. It is on chip matched to 50Ω and an external bias inductor choke is required for the application band.
