EDS-103099 Rev G

Sirenza Microdevices’ SGB-6533 is a high performance SiGe HBT

MMIC amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with an active bias

network. The active bias network provides stable current over tempera-

ture and process Beta variations. Designed to run directly from a 5V

supply the SGB-6533 does not require a drop resistor as compared to

typical Darlington amplifiers. This robust amplifier features a Class 1C

ESD rating, low thermal resistance , and unconditional stability. The

SGB-6533 product is designed for high linearity 5V gain block applica-

tions that require small size and minimal external components. It is on

chip matched to 50 ohm and an external bias inductor choke is required

for the application band.

This product is available in a RoHS Compliant and Green package with

matte tin finish, designated by the “Z” package suffix.
