SNA-600
DC-6ꢀ5 GHz, Cascadable
GaAs MMIC Amplifier
Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices SNA-600 is a high-performance GaAs
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (MMIC) in die formꢀ ADarlington
configuration is utilized for broadband performance to 6ꢀ5 GHzꢀ
These unconditionally stable amplifiers provide 11dB of gain and
+18dBm of P1dB when biased at 65mAꢀ
This MMIC requires only a single supply voltageꢀ The use of an
external resistor allows for bias flexibility and stabilityꢀ Its small
size (0ꢀ4mm x 0ꢀ4mm) and gold metallization make it an ideal
choice for use in hybrid circuitsꢀ
