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

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 EXAMPLE) 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

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.
