SGA1263Z SGA1263Z DCto4000MH z Silicon Germanium HBT Cascadable Gain Block DCto4000MHz SILICON GERMANIUM HBT CASCADABLE GAIN BLOCK Package: SOT-363 Product Description Features RFMD's SGA1263Z is a Silicon Germanium HBT Heterostructure Bipolar Transistor (SiGe HBT) amplifier that offers excellent isolation and flat gain response for application to 4GHz. This RFIC is a 2-stage design that provides high isolation of up to 40dB at 2GHz and is fabricated using the latest SiGe HBT 50GHz FT process, featuring one-micron emitters with VCEO >7V. These unconditionally stable amplifiers have less than 1dB gain drift over 125C operating range (-40C to +85C) and are ideal for use as buffer amplifiers in oscillator applications covering Optimum Technology cellular, ISM, and narrowband PCS bands.

Use via holes for best performance to reduce lead inductance as close to ground leads as possible. Same as Pin 1. RF input pin. This pin requires the ise of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation. Supply Connection. This pin should be bypassed with suitable capacitor(s). Same as Pin 1. RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin, therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operation.
