Package: SOT-343
Product Description
Features
RFMD’s SGA8343Z is a high performance Silicon Germanium Hetero- DC to 6GHz Operation
structure Bipolar Transistor (SiGe HBT) designed for operation from DC to
6GHz. The SGA8343Z is optimized for 3V operation but can be biased at
2V for low-voltage battery operated systems. The device provides high
gain, low NF, and excellent linearity at a low cost. It can be operated at
very low bias currents in applications where high linearity is not required.
The matte tin finish on the lead-free package utilizes a post annealing pro-
cess to mitigate tin whisker formation and is RoHS compliant per EU Direc-

tive 2002/95. This package is also manufactured with
green molding compounds that contain no antimony tri-
oxide nor halogenated fire retardants.

cuitry) during final production test. [2] Sample tested - Samples pulled from each wafer/package lot. Sample test specifications are based on statisti-
cal data from sample test measurements. The test fixture is an engineering application circuit board (parts are pressed down on the board). The
application circuit represents a trade-off between the optimal noise match and input return loss.
