This circuit uses a darlington pair topology with resistive
feedback for broadband performance as well as stability
over its entire temperature range. Internally matched to
50 ohm impedance, the SGA-6389 requires only DC
blocking and bypass capacitors for external components.

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