DESCRIPTION
The UPC2745TB and UPC2746TB are Silicon MMIC Wideband
Amplifiers manufactured using NEC's 20 GHz fT NESATTM III
silicon bipolar process. These devices are designed for use as
buffer amps in mobile communication applications such as
Cellular, PCS, and Cordless handsets, and WLAN transceivers. The UPC2745/46TB are pin compatible and have comparable performance as the larger UPC2745/46T, so they are
suitable for use as a replacement to help reduce system size.
These IC's are housed in a 6 pin super minimold or SOT-363
package.
