The SGL-0622Z is a low noise, high gain MMIC LNA designed for low power
single-supply operation from 2.7-3.6V. Its Class-1C ESD protection and high
input overdrive capability ensures rugged performance, while its integrated
active bias circuit maintains robust stable bias over temperature and
process beta variation. The SGL-0622Z is internally matched from 5-4000
MHz and requires only 4-5 external biasing components (DC blocks, bypass
caps, inductive choke). The SGL-0622Z is fabricated using highly repeat-
able Silicon Germanium technology and is housed in a
cost-effective RoHS/
WEEE compliant QFN 2x2 miniature package.

Description
RF output and bias pin. Bias should be supplied to this pin through an external RF choke.
(See application circuit)
Connect to ground per application circuit drawing.
Not Used
RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor as shown in the
application schematics.
Exposed area on the bottom side of the package needs to be soldered to the ground plane of
the board for thermal and RF performance. Vias should be located under the EPAD as shown
