SGC-2486Z
Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices’ SGC-2486Z is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC
amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with a patented active bias
network. The active bias network provides stable current over temperature
and process Beta variations. Designed to run directly from a 3V supply, the
SGC-2486Z does not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical
Darlington amplifiers. The SGC-2486Z is designed for high linearity 3V gain
block applications that require small size and minimal external components.
It is internally matched to 50 ohms.
