Product Description
SGB-4333
Sirenza Microdevices’ SGB-4333 is a high performance SiGe HBT
MMIC amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with an active bias
network. The active bias network provides stable current over tempera-
ture and process Beta variations. Designed to run directly from a 3V to
5V supply the SGB-4333 does not require a drop resistor as compared
to typical Darlington amplifiers. This robust amplifier features a Class
1C ESD rating, low thermal resistance , and unconditional stability. The
SGB-4333 product is designed for high linearity 3V gain block applica-
tions that require small size and minimal external components. It is on
chip matched to 50 ohm and an external bias inductor choke is required
for the application band.
