DATA SHEET BIPOLAR ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUIT µPC8100GR SILICON UP/DOWN CONVERTERS IC FOR 800 MHz to 900 MHz MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS DESCRIPTION µPC8100GR is a silicon monolithic integrated circuit designed as up/down converters for 800 MHz to 900 MHz mobile communications, mainly CT2. This IC consists of upconverter and downconverter, which are packaged in 20 pin SSOP. Quadrature modulator IC (µPC8101GR) is also available as for kit-use with this IC. So, these pair devices contribute to make RF block small, high-performance and low power-consumption. This product is manufactured using NEC’s 20 GHz f T NESATIII silicon bipolar process. This process uses silicon nitride passivation film and gold electrodes. These materials can protect chip surface from external pollution and prevent corrosion and migration. Thus, this product has excellent performance, uniformity and reliability. FEATURES • Operating frequency – fRF = 800 MHz to 900 MHz, fIF = 50 MHz to 150 MHz, fLo = 650 MHz to 1 050 MHz • Upconverter and downconverter are integrated in 1 chip. • 20 pin SSOP suitable for high-density surface mounting. • Wide operating voltage VCC = 2.7 to 4.5 V • Equipped with Power Save Function. • Excellent linearity APPLICATIONS • Typical application – Digital cordless phone CT2. • Further application – Digital cellular, etc. ORDERING INFORMATION PART NUMBER µPC8100GR-E2 PACKAGE 20 pin plastic SSOP (225 mil) SUPPLYING FORM Embossed tape 12 mm wide.
