50-4000 MHz SILICON GERMANIUM Gain Block

BGS1

UMTS, WCDMA, Wireless Data

BeRex’s BGS1 is a high SiGe HBT MMIC am-

plifier, internally matched to 50 Ohms with-

out the need for external components. De-

signed to run directly from a 3.2V supply.

The BGS1 is designed for high linearity 3.2V

gain block applications . It is packaged in a

RoHS-compliant with SOT-363 surface

Operation of this device above any of these parameters may result in permanent damage.

**less than 56nH improves RF performance at over 0.9GHz.

*1uH or higher value L1 improves RF performance at under 900MHz.

*Optimum value of L1 may vary with board design.
