DESCRIPTION
NEC's UPC8181TB is a silicon Monolithic Microwave Inte-
grated Circuit designed as an amplifier for mobile communica-
tions. This IC operates at 3 volts. The medium output power
is suitable for RF-TX of mobile communication systems.
This IC is manufactured using NEC's 30 GHz fmax UHS0 (Ultra
High Speed process) silicon bipolar process. This process
uses direct silicon nitride passivation film and gold electrodes.
These materials can protect the chip surface from pollution and
prevent corrosion/migration. This IC has excellent perfor-
mance, uniformity, and reliability.
NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures ensure
the highest reliability and performance.
