Product Description
Features
RFMD’s SBB5000 is a high performance InGaP HBT MMIC amplifier utilizing a Dar-
lington configuration with an active bias network. The active bias network provides
stable current over temperature and process Beta variations. Its efficient operation
from a single 5V supply and its compact size (0.59mmx0.70mm) make it ideal for
high-density multi-chip module applications. It is well-suited for high linearity 5V
gain block applications and it is internally matched to 50.
