Product Description
SGA-5263
Stanford Microdevices’ SGA-5263 is a high performance
cascadeable 50-ohm amplifier designed for operation at
voltages as low as 3.4V. This RFIC uses the latest Silicon
Germanium Heterostructure Bipolar Transistor (SiGe HBT)
process featuring 1 micron emitters with FT up to 50 GHz.
DC-4500 MHz, Silicon Germanium
Cascadeable Gain Block
This circuit uses a Darlington pair topology with resistive
feedback for broadband performance as well as stability over
its entire temperature range. Internally matched to 50 Ohm
impedance, the SGA-5263 requires only DC blocking and
bypass capacitors for external components.
Product Features
• DC-4500 MHz Operation
• Single Voltage Supply
• Low Current Draw: 60mA at 3.4V typ.
• High Output Intercept: 29 dBm typ. at 1950MHz

Description
GND
Connection to ground. For best
performance use via holes (as close to
ground leads as possible) to reduce lead
inductance.

RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an
external DC blocking capacitor chosen for
the frequency of operation.

GND

RF OUT RF output and bias pin. Bias should be
supplied to this pin through an external
series resistor and RF choke inductor.
Because DC biasing is present on this pin, a
DC blocking capacitor should be used in
most applications (see application
schematic). The supply side of this bias
netw ork should be w ell bypassed.
