Features
The HMC476SC70(E) is a SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC SMT ampliers
covering DC to 6 GHz. This industry standard SC70
packaged amplier can be used as a cascadable
50 Ohm RF/IF gain stage as well as a LO or PA driver
with up to +12 dBm output power. The HMC476SC70(E)
offers 20 dB of gain with a +24 dBm output IP3 at
850 MHz while requiring only 35 mA from a single
positive supply. The Darlington topology results in
reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and
excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring
a minimal number of external bias components.
