VARIABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER SILICON MMIC

FOR TRANSMITTER AGC OF DIGITAL CELLULAR TELEPHONE

DESCRIPTION

The µPC8119T and µPC8120T are silicon monolithic integrated circuits designed as variable gain amplifier. Due to
100 MHz to 1.9 GHz operation, these ICs are suitable for RF transmitter AGC stage of digital cellular telephone. Two
types of gain control let users choose in accordance with system design. 3 V supply voltage and mini mold package
contribute to make system lower voltage, decreased space and fewer components.

The µPC8119T and µPC8120T are manufactured using NEC’s 20 GHz fT NESATTM III silicon bipolar process. This
process uses silicon nitride passivation film and gold electrodes. These materials can protect chip surface from external
pollution and prevent corrosion / migration. Thus, this IC has excellent performance, uniformity and reliability.

FEATURES

• Recommended operating frequency : f = 100 MHz to 1.92 GHz

• Supply voltage : VCC = 2.7 to 3.3 V

• Low current consumption : ICC = 11 mA

• Gain control voltage : V

• Two types of gain control :µPC8119T = V

• AGC control can be constructed by external control circuit.

• High-density surface mounting

<2> Input leakage to V

type low pass filter attached to VCC pin. The filter performance depends on parallel capacitors.

<3> After adjusted low pass filter, monitor line should be removed before output matching circuit is attached.

Test circuit or print pattern in this sheet is for testing IC characteristics.
In the case of actual system application, external circuits including print pattern and matching circuit

APPLICATION for

1. TO GET MINIMUM GAIN

–1. VCC line filtering

A low pass filter must be attached to V
filter: for example π type.) This filter must be inserted between VCC pin and matching inductor. If the low
pass filter is not attached to this point, minimum output level would not go down under the leakage level.
For example, µPC8119T’s RF input leakage level to VCC shows –30 dBm at 950 MHz and –17 dBm at 1440
dBm.

Pattern L = 5 to 6 nH, C5 = C6 = 1000 pF (Refer to TEST CIRCUIT1, 2 and APPLICATION CIRCUIT

In the case of testing on ‘µPC8119/20T TYPE2’ board, monitor the input leakage to VCC pin through ‘V
monitor line’ and adjust parallel capacitors to suppress leakage.

2. TO GET MAXIMUM GAIN

–1. Output matching

As for external matching circuit, only output port should be equipped in order to get maximum gain. Output
port matching in accordance with impedance of these ICs and next stage must keep the points as follows;
<1> AC points

• IC output impedance at maximum gain must be used.

• Inductance of L must be chosen to get S22 ~ –20 dBm at maximum gain.

<2> DC point

• On LC matching, L of low DC resistance must be chosen to apply voltage as same as VCC to output
pin.

3. OTHERS

–1. Input connection

Input port does not need to match externally. These ICs can be connected to front stage through coupling
capacitor (eg 1000 pF) for DC cut.

NOTES ON CORRECT USE

(1) Observe precautions for handling because of electro-static sensitive devices.
(2) Form a ground pattern as wide as possible to minimize ground impedance (to prevent undesired oscillation).
(3) Keep the track length of the ground pins as short as possible.
(4) A low pass filter must be attached to V

CC

line.

(5) A matching circuit must be externally attached to output port.

No part of this document may be copied or reproduced in any form or by any means without the prior written
consent of NEC Corporation. NEC Corporation assumes no responsibility for any errors which may appear in this
document.
NEC Corporation does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual
property rights of third parties by or arising from use of a device described herein or any other liability arising
from use of such device. No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents,
copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC Corporation or others.
While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its semiconductor devices,
the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or
property arising from a defect in an NEC semiconductor device, customers must incorporate sufficient safety
measures in its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special", and "Specific". The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on
a customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications
of a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each
device 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
Special: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
Specific: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC devices is "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books.
If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade,
they should contact an NEC sales representative in advance.
Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product.
