DESCRIPTION

The

µPC8178TK is a silicon monolithic integrated circuit designed as amplifier for mobile communications. This IC

can realize low current consumption with external chip inductor which can not be realized on internal 50

Ω

wide band matched IC.

µPC8178TK adopts 6-pin lead-less minimold package using same chip as the conventional

µPC8178TB in 6-pin super minimold.

TK suffix IC which is smaller package than TB suffix IC contributes to reduce mounting space by 50 %.

This IC is manufactured using our 30 GHz fmax UHS0 (Ultra High Speed Process) silicon bipolar process.

FEATURES

• Low current consumption

: ICC = 1.9 mA TYP. @ VCC = 3.0 V

• Supply voltage

: VCC = 2.4 to 3.3 V

• Excellent isolation

: ISL = 40 dB TYP. @ f = 1.0 GHz

ISL = 41 dB TYP. @ f = 1.9 GHz

ISL = 42 dB TYP. @ f = 2.4 GHz

• Power gain

: GP = 11.0 dB TYP. @ f = 1.0 GHz

GP = 11.0 dB TYP. @ f = 1.9 GHz

GP = 11.0 dB TYP. @ f = 2.4 GHz

• Gain 1 dB compression output power : PO (1 dB) =

−5.5 dBm TYP. @ f = 1.0 GHz

PO (1 dB) =

−8.0 dBm TYP. @ f = 1.9 GHz

PO (1 dB) =

−8.0 dBm TYP. @ f = 2.4 GHz

• Operating frequency

: 0.1 to 2.4 GHz (Output port LC matching)

• High-density surface mounting

: 6-pin lead-less minimold package (1.5

× 1.3 × 0.55 mm)

• Light weight

: 3 mg (Standard value)

APPLICAION

• Buffer amplifiers on 0.1 to 2.4 GHz mobile communications system
