In this article, a cryogenically cooled SiGe BiCMOS integrated circuit is described and used to achieve >98% readout fidelity when measuring the state of a superconducting transmon qubit coupled to a 6.5-GHz resonant cavity. The circuit employs homodyne detection and uses a novel local oscillator chopping approach to reduce the effects of LO-RF feedthrough in the presence of a high-gain LNA. At 6 mW, the integrated circuit is employed to demonstrate comparable fidelity to a standard HEMT-amplifier-based readout setup, when preceded by a Josephson parametric amplifier with $geq sim 18$
