BG17C
5-6000 MHz Cascadable InGaP HBT Gain Block
Device Features
 OIP3 = 30 dBm @ 1900 MHz
 Gain = 16.4 dB @ 1900 MHz
 Output P1 dB = 17 dBm @ 1900 MHz
 50 Ω Cascadable
 Patented temperature compensation
 Lead-free/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 SMT package
Product Description
BeRex’s BG17C is a high performance InGaP/
GaAs HBT MMIC amplifier, internally
matched to 50 Ohms and uses a patented
temperature compensation circuit to pro-
vide stable current over the operating tem-
perature range without the need for exter-
nal components. The BG17C is designed for
high linearity gain block applications that
require high gain and low power consump-
tion at 5V. It is packaged in a RoHS-
compliant with SOT-89 surface mount pack-
age.
