4.8 V OPERATION SILICON RF POWER LD-MOS FET
FOR 1.9 GHz 1 W TRANSMISSION AMPLIFIERS
DESCRIPTION
The NE5500179A is an N-channel silicon power MOS FET specially designed as the transmission driver amplifier
for 4.8 V GSM 1 800 and GSM 1 900 handsets. Dies are manufactured using NEC’s NEWMOS technology (NEC’s
0.6 µm WSi gate lateral-diffusion MOS FET) and housed in a surface mount package. The device can deliver 30.0
dBm output power with 55% power added efficiency at 1.9 GHz under the 4.8 V supply voltage, or can deliver 27
dBm output power with 50% pozwer added efficiency at 3.5 V, respectively.
FEATURES
• High output power: P
• High power added efficiency :
• High linear gain: GL = 14.0 dB TYP. (VDS = 4.8 V, I
• Surface mount package: 5.7 × 5.7 × 1.1 mm MAX.
• Single supply: VDS = 3.0 to 6.0 V
= 30.0 dBm TYP. (VDS = 4.8 V, I

The information in this document is current as of March, 2002. The information is subject to change
without notice. For actual design-in, refer to the latest publications of NEC's data sheets or data
books, etc., for the most up-to-date specifications of NEC semiconductor products. Not all products
and/or types are available in every country. Please check with an NEC sales representative for
availability and additional information.

No part of this document may be copied or reproduced in any form or by any means without prior
written consent of NEC. NEC assumes no responsibility for any errors that may appear in this document.
•
NEC does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of
third parties by or arising from the use of NEC semiconductor products listed in this document or any other
liability arising from the use of such products. No license, express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any
patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC or others.
•
Descriptions of circuits, software and other related information in this document are provided for illustrative
purposes in semiconductor product operation and application examples. The incorporation of these
circuits, software and information in the design of customer's equipment shall be done under the full
responsibility of customer. NEC assumes no responsibility for any losses incurred by customers or third
parties arising from the use of these circuits, software and information.
•
While NEC endeavours to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of NEC semiconductor products, customers
agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize
risks of damage to property or injury (including death) to persons arising from defects in NEC
semiconductor products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in their design, such as
redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
•
NEC semiconductor products are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special" and "Specific". The "Specific" quality grade applies only to semiconductor products
developed based on a customer-designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The
recommended applications of a semiconductor product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below.
Customers must check the quality grade of each semiconductor product before using it in a particular
application.
"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment
and industrial robots
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC semiconductor products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC's
data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC semiconductor products in applications not
intended by NEC, they must contact an NEC sales representative in advance to determine NEC's willingness
to support a given application.
(Note)
(1) "NEC" as used in this statement means NEC Corporation, NEC Compound Semiconductor Devices, Ltd.
and also includes its majority-owned subsidiaries.
(2) "NEC semiconductor products" means any semiconductor product developed or manufactured by or for
