AG50 is a high-performance InGaP HBT MMIC gain block utilizing a Darlington configuration with an active bias network. The active bias network provides stable current over temperature and process Beta variations. Designed to operate directly from a 5 V supply, AG50 does not require a dropping resistor compared with typical Darlington amplifiers. It is intended for high-linearity gain-block applications requiring compact size, minimal external components and internal 50 Ω matching.

Broadband gain block evaluation

Evaluating an Alternative Gain Block?

AG50 is a 5 V, SOT-89 broadband RF gain block covering 50 MHz to 4 GHz. It can be considered for engineering evaluation in selected legacy and current broadband gain-block designs. Frequency range, gain, noise figure, output linearity, pin configuration and existing bias circuitry should be reviewed for the intended application.

TQP3M9008

50 MHz–4 GHz Broadband Gain Block

TQP3M9008 provides 20.6 dB typical gain, +20 dBm P1dB and +35.5 dBm OIP3 at 1.9 GHz. AG50 provides 19.6 dB gain, +19.6 dBm P1dB and +38 dBm OIP3 at 1.95 GHz. Both operate from 5 V and use an SOT-89 package, making them closely aligned for broadband gain-block evaluation.

Key difference: TQP3M9008 has a lower typical NF, while AG50 offers higher OIP3 around the 1.9 GHz range.

BGA6489

SOT-89 Wideband Medium-Power Gain Block

BGA6489 provides 20 dB gain at 850 MHz and 16 dB at 1.95 GHz, with a typical device current of 78 mA. AG50 provides 20.8 dB at 850 MHz and 19.6 dB at 1.95 GHz, with 80 mA typical current. Both are compact SOT-89 broadband gain blocks.

Gain comparison: AG50 maintains more gain at 1.95 GHz while operating at a very similar current level.

SGA6489Z

DC–3.5 GHz Cascadable Gain Block

SGA6489Z is specified with 20.1 dB gain, +20.7 dBm P1dB and +34 dBm IP3, operating at approximately 5.1 V / 75 mA. AG50 provides approximately 20 dB-class gain, with +19.6 dBm P1dB and +38 dBm OIP3 at 1.95 GHz, from a 5 V / 80 mA supply.

Frequency coverage: SGA6489Z covers up to 3.5 GHz, while AG50 extends broadband operation to 4 GHz.

Analog Devices reference parts

ADI HMC589 / HMC589ST89E / HMC589A / HMC589AST89E

DC–4 GHz SOT-89E Broadband Gain Block Family

HMC589A / HMC589AST89E provides around 20 dB gain, +33 dBm OIP3 and up to +21 dBm P1dB, operating from a single 5 V supply at approximately 82 mA. AG50 offers 19.6 dB gain, +38 dBm OIP3 and +19.6 dBm P1dB at 1.95 GHz, with 5 V / 80 mA operation.

The legacy HMC589 / HMC589ST89E and the newer HMC589A / HMC589AST89E can both be included in broadband SOT-89 gain-block cross-reference evaluation.

Linearity comparison: AG50 offers higher typical OIP3, while the HMC589A family provides slightly higher P1dB.

Published specifications for reference parts may use different test frequencies, bias conditions and evaluation boards. Compare devices at the same frequencies and circuit conditions before qualification.

Critical check: pin configuration and bias network

Cross-reference information is provided for evaluation purposes. Electrical characteristics, pin configuration, bias network and PCB compatibility should be verified for each application. AG50 should not be described as a drop-in or pin-to-pin replacement unless circuit-level compatibility has been independently confirmed.
