Preliminary
Product Description
SGA-7489
Stanford Microdevices SGA-7489 is a high performance
cascadeable 50-ohm amplifier designed for operation at 5
Volts DC# This RFIC uses the latest Silicon Germanium
Heterostructure Bipolar Transistor (SiGe HBT) process
featuring 1 micron emitters with FT up to 50 GHz#
DC-3000 MHz Silicon Germanium
HBT 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-7489 requires only DC blocking
and bypass capacitors and a bias inductor for external
components# Frequency performance may be extended using
the 2 GHz application circuit shown on sheet 5#
