• 3 ~ 3.2V supply

• No Dropping Resistor Required

• No matching circuit needed

• Green/RoHS2 compliant SOT-363 package

• Application: Driver Amplifier, Cellular, PCS, GSM,

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

RoHS2-compliant with SOT-363 surface

mount package.

Applications

Applications Circuit

*C1, C2, C3 =100 pF ± 5%; C4 = 1 nF ± 5%; C5 = 10uF; **L1 = 56nH

**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.

*C1,C2=2nF, L1=1uH for 70MHz application,
