BIPOLAR ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
PC8236T6N
SiGe:C LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER FOR GPS
DESCRIPTION
The PC8236T6N is a silicon germanium carbon (SiGe:C) monolithic integrated circuit designed as low noise
amplifier for GPS. This device exhibits low noise figure and high power gain characteristics, so this IC can improve the
sensitivity of GPS receiver. In addition, the PC8236T6N which is included output matching circuit contributes to
reduce external components and system size.
The package is a 6-pin plastic TSON (Thin Small Out-line Non-leaded) (T6N) suitable for surface mount.
This IC is manufactured using our UHS4 (Ultra High Speed Process) SiGe:C bipolar process.
