The SGA-3463 is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC Amplifier. A
Darlington configuration featuring 1 micron emitters provides high
FT and excellent thermal perfomance. The heterojunction in-
creases breakdown voltage and minimizes leakage current be-
tween junctions. Cancellation of emitter junction non-linearities
results in higher suppression of intermodulation products. Only
2 DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor and an optional RF
choke are required for operation.
The matte tin finish on Sirenza’s lead-free package utilizes a post
annealing process to mitigate tin whisker formation and is RoHS
compliant per EU Directive 2002/95. This package is also manu-
factured with green molding compounds that contain no antimony
trioxide nor halogenated fire retardants.

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
