This IC operates at 3 volts. The medium output power is suitable for RF-TX of mobile communication systems. • Buffer amplifiers for 1.9 GHz to 2.4 GHz mobile communication systems. 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. This IC has excellent performance, uniformity, and reliability. NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures ensure the highest reliability and performance.
