Preliminary Information
Product Description
SGC-2386Z Pb RoHS Compliant
& Green Package
Sirenza Microdevices’ SGC-2386Z is a high performance SiGe HBT MMIC
amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with a patented active bias 50-4000 MHz Silicon Germanium
network. The active bias network provides stable current over temperature
and process Beta variations. Designed to run directly from a 3V supply, the
Cascadable Gain Block
SGC-2386Z does not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical
Darlington amplifiers. The SGC-2386Z is designed for high linearity 3V gain
block applications that require small size and minimal external components.
It is internally matched to 50 ohms.
The matte tin finish on Sirenza’s lead-free “Z” package is applied using a
post annealing process to mitigate tin whisker formation and is RoHS
compliant per EU Directive 2002/95. The package body is manufactured
with green molding compounds that contain no antimony trioxide or
