AVT-55689

50 – 6000 MHz
InGaP HBT Gain Block

Data Sheet

Description Features
Avago Technologies’ AVT-55689 is an economical, easy-to- • Small signal gain amplifier
use, general purpose InGaP HBT MMIC gain block amplifier • Operating frequency 50 MHz to 6 GHz
utilizing Darlington pair configuration housed in a 3-lead
(SOT 89) surface mount plastic package. • Unconditionally stable
• 50 Ohm input & output
The Darlington feedback structure provides inherent
broad bandwidth performance, resulting in useful • Industry standard SOT-89
operating frequency up to 6 GHz. This is an ideal device • Lead-free, RoHS compliant, Green
for small-signal gain cascades or IF amplification.
AVT-55689 is fabricated using advanced InGaP HBT
