SILICON MMIC 2.5 GHz FREQUENCY UP-CONVERTER
FOR WIRELESS TRANSCEIVER
DESCRIPTION
The µPC8172TB is a silicon monolithic integrated circuit designed as frequency up-converter for wireless
transceiver transmitter stage. This IC is manufactured using NEC’s 30 GHz f
silicon bipolar process.
This IC is as same circuit current as conventional µPC8106TB, but operates at higher frequency, higher gain and
lower distortion. Consequently this IC is suitable for mobile communications.
FEATURES
• Recommended operating frequency : f
• Higher IP
• High-density surface mounting : 6-pin super minimold package
• Supply voltage : VCC = 2.7 to 3.3 V

Function and Explanation Equivalent Circuit
anced mixer (DBM). The input i s
designed as high impedance.
The circuit contributes to suppress spurious signal. A l so this
symmetrical ci rcuit can keep
specified performance insensitive
to process-condition distribution.
For above reason, double balanced mixer is adopted.
GND pin. Ground pattern on the
board should be formed as wide
as possible. Track Lengt h should
be kept as short as poss i bl e to
minimize ground impedance.
input level is −10 to 0 dBm.
Supply voltage pin.
This pin is RF output from DB M .
This pin is designed as open
collector. Due to the high i m pedance output, this pin s houl d be
externally equipped with LC
matching circuit t o next stage.
Power save control pin. B i as
