Sirenza Microdevices’ STA-5063Z is a general purpose class A

linear amplifier which utilizes InGaP GaAs Heterojunction

Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier housed in a low-cost sur-

face-mountable plastic package. This product is specifically

designed as a driver amplifier for WLAN 802.11a and 5.8GHz

ISM band and 3.3-3.8GHz fixed wireless applications. It can

run from a fixed 3.0-3.6V supply with its on chip active bias net-

work which includes a power up and down control. On-chip

impedance matching circuitry provides a 50

Ω nominal RF input

and output impedance. Its high linearity makes it an ideal

choice for multicarrier and digital applications. Housed in an

industry standard SOT-363 package, it has no blind solder

joints and designed for low cost. This product is offered in a

RoHS Compliant and Green package with matte tin finish, des-

ignated by the “Z” package suffix.
