DESCRIPTION
NEC's UPC8179TK is a silicon monolithic integrated circuit
designed as an amplifier for mobile communications. This IC
can realize low current consumption with external chip inductor. The incorporation of a chip identical to the conventional 6pin super minimold package (2.0 x 1.25 x 0.9 mm) μPC8179TB
in a 6-pin leadless minimold package (1.5 x 1.1 x 0.55 mm) has
enabled a reduction in mounting area of 50 %. The μPC8179TK
is ideally suited to replace the μPC8179TB for footprint reduction and increased design density. This IC is manufactured
using NEC's 30 GHz fMAX UHS0 (Ultra High Speed Process)
silicon bipolar process. This process uses direct silicon nitride
passivation film and gold electrodes. These materials can
protect the chip surface from pollution and prevent corrosion/
migration. Thus this IC has excellent performance uniformity
and reliability.
NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures assure
the highest performance. consistency and reliability.
(Unless otherwise specified, TA = +25°C, VCC = VOUT = 3.0 V, ZS = ZL = 50Ω, at LC matched Frequency)
