SILICON RFIC

2.5 GHz FREQUENCY UP-CONVERTER

FOR WIRELESS TRANSCEIVER

UPC8172TB

DESCRIPTION

NEC's UPC8172TB is a silicon monolithic integrated circuit

designed as a frequency up-converter for a wireless trans-

ceiver transmitter stage. This IC is manufactured using NEC's

process. This IC has the same circuit current as the conven-

tional UPC8106TB, but operates at higher frequency, higher

gain and lower distortion. Such performance and operation

from a 3 volts supply makes this device ideal for mobile

communications and wireless LAN applications.

NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures ensure

the highest reliability and performance.
