Product Features

Applications

Sirenza Microdevices’ SGC-4363Z is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC

amplifier utilizing 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

SGC-4363Z does not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical

Darlington amplifiers. The SGC-4363Z is designed for high linearity 3V gain

block applications that require small size and minimal external components.

It is internally matched to 50 ohms.

The matte tin finish on Sirenza’s lead-free “Z” package is applied using a

post annealing process to mitigate tin whisker formation and is RoHS

compliant per EU Directive 2002/95. The package body is manufactured

with green molding compounds that contain no antimony trioxide or

halogenated fire retardants.
