DESCRIPTION
NEC's UPC8211TK is a silicon germanium (SiGe) monolithic
integrated circuit designed as low noise amplifier for GPS and
as a general low nois amplifier for mobile communications.
The package is 6-pin lead-less minimold (1.5 x 1.3 x 0.55 mm)
suitable for surface mount and optimized for very densely
populated compact designs.
This IC is manufactured using NEC's 60 GHz f
T
UHS2 (Ultra
High Speed Process) silicon bipolar process. This process
can realize excellent low noise peformance and low power
consumption simultaneously.
NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures ensure
the highest reliability and performance.
