SGA8343Z SGA8343ZLow Noise, High Gain SiGe HBT LOW NOISE, HIGH GAIN SiGe HBT Package: SOT-343 Product Description Features RFMD’s SGA8343Z is a high performance Silicon Germanium Heterostructure Bipolar Transistor (SiGe HBT) designed for operation from DC to 6GHz. The SGA8343Z is optimized for 3V operation but can be biased at 2V for low-voltage battery operated systems. The device provides high gain, low NF, and excellent linearity at a low cost. It can be operated at very low bias currents in applications where high linearity is not required. 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 DirecOptimum Technology tive 2002/95. This package is also manufactured with Matching® Applied green molding compounds that contain no antimony triGaAs HBT oxide nor halogenated fire retardants.

[2] Sample tested - Samples pulled from each wafer/package lot. Sample test specifications are based on statistical data from sample test measurements. The test fixture is an engineering application circuit board (parts are pressed down on the board). The application circuit represents a trade-off between the optimal noise match and input return loss.
