Product Description Sirenza Microdevices’ STA-5063Z is a general purpose class A linear amplifier which utilizes InGaP GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier housed in a low-cost surface-mountable plastic package. This product is specifically designed as a driver amplifier for WLAN 802.11a and 5.8GHz ISM band and 3.3-3.8GHz fixed wireless applications. It can run from a fixed 3.0-3.6V supply with its on chip active bias network which includes a power up and down control. On-chip impedance matching circuitry provides a 50Ω nominal RF input and output impedance. Its high linearity makes it an ideal choice for multicarrier and digital applications. Housed in an industry standard SOT-363 package, it has no blind solder joints and designed for low cost. This product is offered in a RoHS Compliant and Green package with matte tin finish, designated by the “Z” package suffix.

Supply VPC = 3.3V thru a 4.7Kohm resistor to this pin. For more gain (~0.3dB), a 5.6nH inductor can also be used in place of the resistor. If an inductor is used, move the 4.7k resistor towards the DC supply, but still in series with pin1. A minimum 1k series resitance is required on this pin from the DC supply. VPC less than 2V shuts off the amplifier. 2,5,6 Ground 3 VCC 4 RFOUT Put GND vias as close as possible to these pins. It is recommended to use the via pattern in out eval board layout and recommended land pattern This provides Vcc to the active bias circuit and supplies the Vcc1 collector voltage of the first stage. This pin needs to be bypassed with capacitors as close as possible to the pin. Two 0402 100pF capacitors are recommended in parallel to lower the inductance to GND thru the caps. Rf output for the amplifier and Vcc2 for the second stage.
