DESCRIPTION
NEC's UPC8187TB is a silicon monolithic integrated circuit designed as a frequency up-converter for wireless transceivers. This IC has higher operating frequency, lower distortion and higher conversion gain than the conventional UPC8163TB. This device is manufactured using NEC's 30 GHz fmax UHS0 (Ultra High Speed Process) silicon bipolar process. NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures ensure the highest reliability and performance.
APPLICATIONS
• TDMA, PCS, CDMA • Digital Cellular/Cordless Phones • Wireless Tranceivers

PIN FUNCTIONS (Pin Voltage is measured at VCC = VPS = VRFOUT = 2.8V)
Pin No. 1 Pin Name IFinput Applied Voltage (V) — Pin Voltage (V) 1.2 Function and Explanation Equivalent Circuit
This pin is the IF input pin to the double balanced mixer (DBM). The input is designed as a high impedance. The circuit helps suppress spurious signals. Also this symmetrical circuit can keep specified performance insensitive to processcondition distribution. For that reason, a 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 inductance. Local input pin. Recommended input level is -10 to 0 dBm. Supply voltage pin. This pin is the RF output from the double balanced mixer. This pin is designed as an open collector. Due to the high impedance output, this pin should be externally equipped with an LC matching circuit to the next stage.
