Product Description Sirenza Microdevices SBB-89Z 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 V supply, the SBB-89Z does not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical Darlington amplifiers. The SBB-89Z product is designed for high linearity V gain block applications that require small size and minimal external components. It is internally matched to ohms. The matte tin finish on Sirenza s lead-free package utilizes a post annealing process to mitigate tin whisker formation and is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 22/9. This package is also manufactured with green molding compounds that contain no antimony trioxide nor halogenated fire retardants. 2 1-1 -2 - Gain & Return Loss vs. Frequency (w/ BiasTees) S22 S11 S21 SBB-89Z.-6 GHz, Cascadable Active Bias InGaP HBT MMIC Amplifier Product Features Wideband Flat Gain to 4GHz: +/-1.1 P1 = 2.4 m @ 19MHz Single Fixed V Supply Robust 1V ESD, Class 1C Patented Thermal Design & Bias Circuit Low Thermal Resistance MSL 1 moisture rating Applications PA Driver Amplifier Cellular, PCS, GSM, UMTS Wideband Intrumentation Wireless Data, Satellite Terminals Pb RoHS Compliant & Green Package -4 1 2 4 6 Symbol Parameters Units Frequency Min.

For reliable continuous operation, the device voltage and current must not exceed the maximum operating values specified in the table on page one. Bias Conditions should also satisfy the following expression: I D V D < (T J - T L ) / R TH, j-l T L =T LEAD ESD Class 1C Appropriate precautions in handling, packaging and testing devices must be observed. Mounting Instructions 1. Solder the copper pad on the backside of the device package to the ground plane. 2. Use a large ground pad area with many plated through-holes as shown.. We recommend 1 or 2 ounce copper. Measurement for this datasheet were made on a 1 mil thick FR-4 board with 1 ounce copper on both sides. MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) Rating: Level 1 S.

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 OUT/ BIAS RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin, therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operation. S. Technology Ct. Phone: (8) SMI-MMIC http://www.sirenza.com Broomfield, CO 821 6 EDS-189 Rev F
