SGC2463Z SGC2463Z 50MHz to 4000MHz ACTIVE BIAS SILICON GERMANIUM CASCADABLE GAIN BLOCK Package: SOT-363 Product Description Features RFMDs SGC2463Z is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC amplifier utiliz- Single Fixed 3V Supply ing a Darlington configuration with a patented active bias network. The No Dropping Resistor active bias network provides stable current over temperature and process Required Beta variations. Designed to run directly from a 3V supply, the SGC2463Z Patented Self-Bias Circuitry does not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical Darlington amplifiers. The SGC2463Z is designed for high linearity 3V gain block P =10.5dBm at 1950MHz 1dB applications that require small size and minimal external components. It is OIP =23.5dBm at 1950MHz internally matched to 50 . 3 Robust 1000V ESD, Class 1C Optimum Technology Gain & Return Loss V = 3V, I = 25mA D D HBM Matching Applied 30 GaAs HBT S21 Applications 20 GaAs MESFET PA Driver Amplifier InGaP HBT 10 SiGe BiCMOS Cellular, PCS, GSM, UMTS, Bias Tee Data, ZS = ZL = 50 Ohms, TL = 25C 0 WCDMA Si BiCMOS SiGe HBT S22 IF Amplifier -10 GaAs pHEMT Wireless Data, Satellite S11 -20 Si CMOS Si BJT -30 GaN HEMT 00.511.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 Frequency (GHz) RF MEMS Specification Parameter Unit Condition Min.
