SBB5089Z
50MHz to 6000MHz, CASCADABLE
ACTIVE BIAS InGaP HBT MMIC AMPLIFIER
Package: SOT-89
Product Description
RFMD’s SBB5089Z is a high performance InGaP HBT MMIC amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with an active bias network. The active
bias network provides stable current over temperature and process Beta
variations. Designed to run directly from a 5V supply, the SBB5089Z does
not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical Darlington amplifiers. The SBB5089Z product is designed for high linearity 5V gain block
applications that require small size and minimal external components. It is
internally matched to 50.

Pin Function Description
1RF IN
2, 4 GND
3RF OUT/
BIAS
RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation.
Connection to ground. Use via holes for best performance to reduce lead inductance as close to ground leads as possible
RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin, therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operation.
