BIPOLAR ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PC8233TK D SiGe:C LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER FOR GPS/MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS UE DESCRIPTION The PC8233TK is a silicon germanium carbon (SiGe:C) monolithic integrated circuit designed as low noise amplifier for GPS and mobile communications. This device exhibits low noise figure and high power gain characteristics. This device is enabled in the frequency range from 1.5 to 2.4 GHz by modifying the external matching circuit. This device is suitable for the reduction in power consumption of the mobile communication system because it operates by low voltage and low current. The package is 6-pin lead-less minimold, suitable for surface mount.

(2) Form a ground pattern as widely as possible to minimize ground impedance (to prevent undesired oscillation). All the ground terminals must be connected together with wide ground pattern to decrease impedance difference. D (3) The bypass capacitor should be attached to VCC line. (4) Do not supply DC voltage to INPUT pin.
