SZA-5044 Datasheet, PDF (1/7 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – 4.9 - 5.9 GHz 5V Power Amplifier

Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices’ SZA-5044 is a high efficiency class AB
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier housed in a
low-cost surface-mountable plastic package. This HBT ampli-
fier is made with InGaP on GaAs device technology and fabri-
cated with MOCVD for an ideal combination of low cost and
high reliability. This product is specifically designed as a final
or driver stage for 802.11a equipment in the 4.9 - 5.9 GHz
band for a 5V supply. Optimized on-chip impedance matching
circuitry provides a 50Ω nominal RF input impedance. A sin-
gle external output matching circuit covers the entire 4.9-
5.9GHz band simultaneously. The external output match
allows for load line optimization for other applications or opti-
mized performance over narrower bands. This product is
available in a RoHS Compliant and Green package with matte
tin finish, designated by the “Z” package suffix.
