SGA-6486
Product Description
DC-4500 MHz, Cascadable
SiGe HBT MMIC Amplifier
Sirenza Microdevices SGA-6486 is a high performance SiGe
HBT MMIC Amplifierꢀ A Darlington configuration featuring 1
micron emitters provides high FT and excellent thermal
perfomanceꢀ The heterojunction increases breakdown voltage
and minimizes leakage current between junctionsꢀ Cancellation
of emitter junction non-linearities results in higher suppression
of intermodulation productsꢀ At 850 Mhz and 80mA, the SGA-
6486 typically provides +35 dBm output IP3, 19ꢀ7 dB of gain,
and +20ꢀ2 dBm of 1dB compressed power using a single positive
voltage supplyꢀ Only 2 DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor
and an optional RF choke are required for operationꢀ
