SGC-4486Z

SGC-4486Z Product Description Sirenza Microdevices’ SGC-4486Z 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-4486Z does not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical Darlington amplifiers. The SGC-4486Z is designed for high linearity 3V gain block applications that require small size and minimal external components. It is internally matched to 50 ohms. 50-4000 MHz Active Bias Silicon Germanium Cascadable Gain Block Pb RoHS Compliant & Green Package Gain & Return Loss 30 S21 20 VD = 3V, ID = 52mA Gain, RL (dB) 10 0 -10 -20 -30 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 Bias Tee Data, ZS = ZL = 50 Ohms, TL = 25C S22 S11 Product Features • Single Fixed 3V Supply • No Dropping Resistor Required • Patented Self-Bias Circuitry • P1dB = 12.7 dBm at 1950 MHz • OIP3 = 27.5 dBm at 1950 MHz • Robust 1000V ESD, Class 1C HBM Applications • PA Driver Amplifier • Cellular, PCS, GSM, UMTS, WCDMA • IF Amplifier • Wireless Data, Satellite Frequency 850 MHz 1950 MHz 2400 MHz 850 MHz 1950 MHz 2400 MHz 850 MHz 1950 MHz 2400 MHz 1950 MHz 1950 MHz 1930 MHz Min. 19.0 13.0 Typ. 20.5 14.5 12.3 13.8 12.7 12.4 29.0 27.5 26.5 14.5 11.5 3.4 3 46 OIP3 Tone Spacing = 1MHz Pout per tone = -5 dBm Frequency (GHz) Symbol G Parameters Small Signal Gain Units dB Max. 22.0 16.0 P1dB Output Power at 1dB Compression dBm 11.7 OIP3 IRL ORL NF VD ID Rth, j-l Output Third Order Intercept Point Input Return Loss Output Return Loss Noise Figure Device Operating Voltage Device Operating Current Thermal Resistance (junction to lead) VD = 3.0V Bias Tee Data ID = 52mA TL = 25°C dBm dB dB dB V mA °C/W 25.5 10.5 7.5 4.4 52 145 58 Test Conditions: ZS = ZL = 50 Ohms The information provided herein is believed to be reliable at press time.
