µPC3202GR
FREQUENCY DOWN CONVERTER FOR
VHF to UHF BAND TV/VCR TUNER
DESCRIPTION
The µPC3202GR is Silicon monolithic IC designed for TV/VCR tuner applications. This IC consists of a double
balanced mixer (DBM), local oscillator, preamplifier for precscaler operation, IF amplifier, regulator, and so on. This
one-chip IC covers a wide frequency band from VHF to UHF bands. This IC is packaged in 20-pin SSOP (Shrink
Small Outline Package) suitable for surface mounting.
FEATURES
•

NOTE ON CORRECT USE
(1) Observe precautions for handling because of electro-static sensitive devices.
(2) Form a ground pattern as widely as possible to minimize ground impedance (to prevent undesires oscillation).
(3) Keep the track length of the ground pins as short as possible.
(4) A low pass filter must be attached to VCC line.
(5) A matching circuit must be externally attached to output port.
RECOMMENDED SOLDERING CONDITIONS
The following conditions (see table below) must be met when soldering this product.
Please consult with our sales officers in case other soldering process is used or in case soldering is done under
different conditions.
For details of recommended soldering conditions for surface mounting, refer to information document
SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE MOUNTING TECHNOLOGY MANUAL (C10535E).

• NEC Corporation does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual property
rights of third parties by or arising from use of a device described herein or any other liability arising from use
of such device. No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents, copyrights or other
intellectual property rights of NEC Corporation or others.
• Descriptions of circuits, software, and other related information in this document are provided for illustrative
purposes in semiconductor product operation and application examples. The incorporation of these circuits,
software, and information in the design of the customer's equipment shall be done under the full responsibility
of the customer. NEC Corporation assumes no responsibility for any losses incurred by the customer or third
parties arising from the use of these circuits, software, and information.
• While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its semiconductor devices,
the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or
property arising from a defect in an NEC semiconductor device, customers must incorporate sufficient safety
measures in its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
• NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special", and "Specific". The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on a
customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of
a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each device
before using it in a particular application.
Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment,
audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic
equipment and industrial robots
Special: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
Specific: Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC devices is "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books.
If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade,
they should contact an NEC sales representative in advance.
