Preliminary
Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices’ SBB-5089 is a high performance InGaP HBT MMIC
amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with an active bias network.
The active bias network provides stable current over temperature and
process Beta variations. Designed to run directly from a 5V supply, the
SBB-5089 does not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical
Darlington amplifiers. The SBB-5089 product is designed for high linearity
5V gain block applications that require small size and minimal external
components. It is internally matched to 50 ohms.
