SGC-6389Z Product Description Sirenza Microdevices’ SGC-6389Z is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with a patented 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 SGC-6389Z does not require a dropping resistor as compared to traditional Darlington amplifiers. The SGC-6389Z product is designed for high linearity 5V gain block applications that require small size and minimal external components. It is internally matched to 50 ohms.
