This IC can LIGHT WEIGHT: 7 mg (standard Value) realize low current consumption with external chip inductor which can be realized on internal 50 wideband matched IC. This low current amplifier uns on 3.0 V. This IC is manufactured APPLICATIOIN using NEC s 30 GHz fMAX UHS0 (Ultra High Speed Process) silicon bipolar process. This process uses direct silicon nitride Buffer amplifiers for 0.1 to 2.4 GHz mobile communications passivation film and gold electrodes. These materials can systems. protect the chip surface from pollution and prevent corrosion/ migration. Thus this IC has exellent performance uniformity and reliability.

PIN FUNCTIONS Pin No. Symbol Pin Voltage Description Internal Equivalent Circuit Signal Input Pin. A internal 1.09 V 1 INPUT matching circuit, configured with resistors, enable 50 W connection over a wide band. This pin must be coupled to signal source with 6 capacitor for DC cut. 4 2 GND through external inductor Ground pin. This pin should be 3 connected to the system ground with 5 minimum inductance. Ground pattern on the board should be formed as wide as possible. All the ground pins must be connected together with wide ground pattern to decrease impedance difference. 2 Signal output pin. This pin is 4 OUTPUT Same as VCC voltage designed as collector output. Due to the high impedance output, this 3 1 5 pin should be externally equipped with matching LC matching circuit to next stage.
