RFMD’s SBA5086Z is a high performance InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Tran-
sistor MMIC Amplifier. A Darlington configuration designed with InGaP process tech-
nology provides broadband performance up to 5GHz with excellent thermal
performance. The heterojunction increases breakdown voltage and minimizes leak-
age current between junctions. Cancellation of emitter junction non-linearities
results in higher suppression of intermodulation products. Only a single positive
supply voltage, DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor, and an optional RF choke
are required for operation.
