This IC can realize low current consumption with external chip inductor which can be realized on internal 50Ω wideband matched IC. This low current amplifier uns on 3.0 V. This IC is manufactured using NEC's 30 GHz fMAX UHS0 (Ultra High Speed Process) silicon bipolar process. This process uses direct silicon nitride passivation film and gold electrodes. These materials can protect the chip surface from pollution and prevent corrosion/ migration. Thus this IC has exellent performance uniformity and reliability. APPLICATIOIN • Buffer amplifiers for 0.1 to 2.4 GHz mobile communications systems.

PIN FUNCTIONS Pin No. 1 Symbol INPUT Pin Voltage 1.09 V Description Signal Input Pin. A internal matching circuit, configured with resistors, enable 50 W connection over a wide band. This pin must be coupled to signal source with capacitor for DC cut. Ground pin. This pin should be connected to the system ground with minimum inductance. Ground pattern on the board should be formed as wide as possible. All the ground pins must be connected together with wide ground pattern to decrease impedance difference. Signal output pin. This pin is designed as collector output. Due to the high impedance output, this pin should be externally equipped with matching LC matching circuit to next stage. For L, a size 1005 chip inductor can be chosen. Power supply pin. This pin should be externally equipped with bypass capacitor to minimize its impedance.
