SILICON UP/DOWN CONVERTERS IC
FOR 800 MHz to 900 MHz MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
µ
PC8100GR 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 (
µ
PC8101GR) 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
NESAT

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 – f
RF
= 800 MHz to 900 MHz, f
IF
= 50 MHz to 150 MHz, f
Lo
= 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 V
CC
= 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.
