5-6000 MHz Cascadable InGaP HBT Gain Block

BG17C

• OIP3 = 30.0 dBm @ 1900 MHz

• Gain = 16.4 dB @ 1900 MHz

• Output P1 dB = 17.0 dBm @ 1900 MHz

• Patented temperature compensation

• RoHS2-compliant SOT-89 SMT package

BeRex’s BG17C is a high performance InGaP/

GaAs HBT MMIC amplifier, internally

matched to 50 Ohms and uses a patented

temperature compensation circuit to pro-

vide stable current over the operating tem-

perature range without the need for exter-

nal components. The BG17C is designed for

high linearity gain block applications that

require high gain and low power consump-

tion at 5V. It is packaged in a RoHS2-

compliant with SOT-89 surface mount pack-

age.

Applications

Applications Circuit

*C1, C2, C3 =100 pF ± 5%; C4 = 1000 pF ± 5%; C5 = 10uF; L1 = 33nH ±5%

*Less than 20nH improves RF performance at over 1.9GHz.

*40nH or higher value L1 improves RF performance at under 500MHz.

*Optimum value of L1 may vary with board design.
