Product Description
RFMD’s SBB-4000 is a high performance InGaP HBT MMIC amplifier utilizing a Dar-
lington configuration with an active bias network. The active bias network provides
stable current over temperature and process Beta variations. Its efficient operation
from a single 5V supply and its compact size (0.59mmx0.70mm) make it ideal for
high density multi-chip module applications. It is well-suited for high linearity 5V
gain block applications and it is internally matched to 50Ω.
RFMD can provide 100% DC screening, visual inspection, and Hi Rel water qualifi-
cation. Die can be delivered at the wafer level or picked to gel
