Sirenza Microdevices’ SNA-486 is a GaAs HBT MMICAmplifier

housed in a low-cost, surface-mountable plastic package.

The heterojunction increases breakdown voltage and

minimizes leakage current between junctions. Cancellation

of emitter junction non-linearities results in higher suppression

of intermodulation products.

The use of an external resistor allows for bias flexibility and

stability. These unconditionally stable amplifiers are designed

for use as general purpose 50 ohm gain blocks.

Also available in chip form (SNA-400), its small size (0.38mm

x 0.38mm) and gold metallization make it an ideal choice for

use in hybrid circuits.
