NEC's NPN SiGe RF IC UPA901TU
IN A 8-PIN LEAD-LESS MINIMOLD
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
NEC's UPA901TU is a silicon germanium HBT IC designed
for the power amplifier of 5.8 GHz cordless phone and other
5.8 GHz applications. This IC consists of two stage amplifiers
and has excellent performance, high efficiency, high gain,
low power consumption.
NEC's UPA901TU is packaged in surface mount 8-pin lead-
less minimold plastic package.
This device is fabricated with our SiGe HBT process UHS2-
HV technology.
