DESCRIPTION
NEC's UPC8181TB is a silicon Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit designed as an amplifier for mobile communications. This IC operates at 3 volts. The medium output power is suitable for RF-TX of mobile communication systems. 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. This IC has excellent performance, uniformity, and reliability. NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures ensure the highest reliability and performance.
APPLICATIONS
• Buffer amplifiers for 1.9 GHz to 2.4 GHz mobile communication systems.

Pin No. 1 Pin Name INPUT Applied Voltage — Pin Voltage 0.99 Description Signal input pin. An internal matching circuit, configured with resistors, enables 50 Ω connection over a wide band. A multi- feedback circuit is designed to cancel the deviations of hFE and resistance. This pin must be coupled to signal source with capacitor for DC cut. GND pin. This pin should be connected to the system ground with minimuim 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. The inductor must be attached between VCC and output pins to supply current to the internal output transistors. Equivalent Circuit
