DC to 4500MHz, CASCADABLE SiGe HBT
MMIC AMPLIFIER
Package: SOT-89
Product Description
The SGA6389Z is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC Amplifier. A Darling-
ton configuration featuring one-micron emitters provides high F
T
and
excellent thermal performance. The heterojunction increases breakdown
voltage and minimizes leakage current between junctions. Cancellation of
emitter junction non-linearities results in higher suppression of intermodu-
lation products. Only two DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor, and an
optional RF choke are required for operation.

RF OUT/BIAS
Description
RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC-blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation.
Connection to ground. For optimum RF performance, use via holes as close to ground leads as possible to reduce lead
inductance.
RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin, therefor a DC-blocking capacitor is necessary for proper opera-
tion.

Evaluation Board Layout
Mounting Instructions:
1. Solder the copper pad on the backside of the device package to the ground plane.
2. Use a large ground pad area with many plated through-holes as shown.
3. We recommend 1 or 2 ounce copper. Measurements for this data sheet were made on a 31mil thick FR-4 board with 1
ounce copper on both sides.
