General Description
The HMC482ST89
& HMC482ST89E are SiGe
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block
MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 5 GHz. Packaged
in an industry standard SOT89, the amplifier can
be used as a cascadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stage
as well as a LO or PA driver with up to +24 dBm out-
put power. The Darlington feedback pair results in
reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and
excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring
a minimal number of external bias components.
Electrical Specifications, Vs= 8.0 V, Rbias= 27 Ohm, TA = +25° C
