QPA4263C 50 4000MHz Cascadable SiGe Amplifier General Description The QPA4263C is a high performance SiGe MMIC amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with a patented active bias network. The active bias network provides stable current over temperature and process Beta variations. Designed to run directly from a 3V supply, the QPA4263C does not require a dropping resistor as compared to typical Darlington amplifiers. The QPA4263C is designed for high linearity 3V gain block applications that require small size 6 Lead SOT-363 Package and minimal external components. It is internally matched to 50 .
