AVT-54689
50 – 6000 MHz
InGaP HBT Gain Block
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies’ AVT-54689 is an economical, easy-
to-use, general purpose InGaP HBT MMIC gain block am-
plifier utilizing Darlington pair configuration housed in a
3-lead (SOT 89) surface mount plastic package.
The Darlington feedback structure provides inherent
broad bandwidth performance, resulting in useful operat-
ing frequency up to 6 GHz. This is an ideal device for small-
signal gain cascades or IF amplification.
AVT-54689 is fabricated using advanced InGaP HBT
(hetero-junction Bipolar Transistor) technology that offer-
ing state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability and
performance consistency.
