Product Description

RFMD’s SGC4486Z is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC amplifier utiliz-

ing 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 SGC4486Z

does not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical Darlington

amplifiers. The SGC4486Z is designed for high linearity 3V gain block

applications that require small size and minimal external components. It is

internally matched to 50Ω.
