ADA-789 Silicon Bipolar Darlington Amplifier Data Sheet Description Avago Technologies ADA-789 is an economical, easyto-use, general purpose silicon bipolar RFIC gain block amplifiers housed in SOT-89 surface mount plastic package. The Darlington feedback structure provides inherent broad bandwidth performance, resulting in useful operating frequency up to. GHz. This is an ideal device for small-signal gain cascades or IF amplification. ADA-789 is fabricated using Avago s HP silicon bipolar process, which employs a double-diffused single poly-silicon process with self-aligned submicron emitter geometry. The process is capable of simultaneous high ft and high NPN breakdown ( GHz ft at V BVCEO). The process utilizes industry standard device oxide isolation technologies and submicron aluminum multi-layer inter-connects to achieve superior performance, high uniformity, and proven reliability.
