RFMD’s SXE1089Z is a high performance pHEMT MMIC amplifier utilizing
a patented self-bias Darlington topology housed in a lowcost, surface
mountable SOT-89 package. The active bias network provides stable cur-
rent over temperature and process thereshold voltage variations.
Designed to run directly from a 5V supply, the SXE1089Z does not require
a dropping resistor as compared to typical Darlington amplifiers. The
SXE1089Z product is designed for high linearity 5V gain block applica-
tions that require small size and minimal external com-
