SGA5486Z SGA5486ZDC to 3500MHz, Cascadable SiGe HBT MMIC Amplifier DC to 3500MHz, CASCADABLE SiGe HBT MMIC AMPLIFIER Package: SOT-86 Product Description Features The SGA5486Z 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. -10 IRL 12 -20 ORL 6 TL=+25ºC -30 Return Loss (dB) Gain (dB) SiGe HBT 0 GAIN 18 Si BiCMOS VD= 3.6 V, ID= 60 mA (Typ.) 24 GaAs MESFET Gain & Return Loss vs. Frequency GaAs HBT SiGe BiCMOS High Gain: 16.3dB at 1950MHz Cascadable 50 Operates from Single Supply Low Thermal Resistance Package Applications Optimum Technology Matching® Applied InGaP HBT PA Driver Amplifier Cellular, PCS, GSM, UMTS IF Amplifier Wireless Data, Satellite GaAs pHEMT 0 Si CMOS -40 0 Si BJT 1 2 3 Frequency (GHz) 4 5 GaN HEMT RF MEMS Parameter Small Signal Gain Output Power at 1dB Compression Output Third Intercept Point Min.
