SILICON MMIC 2.0 GHz FREQUENCY UP-CONVERTER
FOR CELLULAR/CORDLESS TELEPHONES
BIPOLAR ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PC8106TB and
µ
PC8109TB are silicon monolithic integrated circuit designed as frequency up-converter for
cellular/cordless telephone transmitter stage. The
µ
PC8106TB features improved intermodulation and
µ
PC8109TB
features low current consumption. From these two version, you can chose either IC corresponding to your system
design. These TB suffix ICs which are smaller package than conventional T suffix ICs contribute to reduce your
system size.
The
µ
PC8106TB and
µ
PC8109TB are manufactured using NEC’s 20 GHz f
T
NESAT
TM
III silicon bipolar process.
This process uses a silicon nitride passivation film and gold electrodes. These materials can protect chip surface
from external pollution and prevent corrosion/migration. Thus, this IC has excellent performance, uniformity and
reliability.

Function and Explanation
Equivalent Circuit
This pin is IF input to double balanced
mixer (DBM). The input is designed as
high impedance. The circuit contri-
butes to suppress spurious signal.
Also this symmetrical circuit can keep
specified performance insensitive to
process-condition distribution. For
above reason, double balanced mixer
is adopted.
GND pin. Ground pattern on the board
should be formed as wide as possible.
Track Length should be kept as short
as possible to minimize ground
impedance.
Local input pin. Recommendable input
level is
−10
to 0 dBm.
Supply voltage pin.
This pin is RF output from DBM. This
pin is designed as open collector. Due
to the high impedance output, this pin
should be externally equipped with LC
matching circuit to next stage.
Power save control pin. Bias controls
operation as follows.
