1. Product profile
CAUTION
1.1 General description
NPN silicon germanium microwave transistor for high speed, low noise applications in a
SOT883C leadless ultra small plastic SMD package.
This device is sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Observe precautions for handling
electrostatic sensitive devices.
Such precautions are described in the ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC/ST 61340-5, JESD625-A or
equivalent standards.
1.2 Features and benefits
 Leadless ultra small plastic SMD package 1.0 mm  0.6 mm  0.34 mm
 Low noise high gain microwave transistor
 Noise figure (NF) = 0.75 dB at 6 GHz
 High maximum power gain (Gp(max)) of 15.8 dB at 6 GHz
 Excellent linearity in WiFi LNA from 5 GHz to 5.9 GHz:
 input third-order intercept point (IP3i) = 15 dBm
