General Description
The HMC478ST89 & HMC478ST89E are SiGe
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block
MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 4 GHz. Pack-
aged in an industry standard SOT89, the amplifier
can be used as a cascadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain
stage as well as a LO or PA driver with up to +20 dBm
output power. The HMC478ST89(E) offers 22 dB of
gain with a +30 dBm output IP3 at 850 MHz while
requiring only 62mA from a single positive supply.
The Darlington feedback pair used results in reduced
sensitivity to normal process variations and excellent
gain stability over temperature while requiring a
minimal number of external bias components.
