Product Summary

The UPC8231TK is a silicon germanium carbon (SiGe:C) monolithic integrated circuit designed as low noise amplifier for GPS and mobile communications. The UPC8231TK exhibits low noise figure and high power gain characteristics. The UPC8231TK is enabled in the frequency range from 1.5 to 2.4 GHz by modifying the external matching circuit. The package is 6-pin lead-less minimold, suitable for surface mount. This IC is manufactured using our UHS4 (Ultra High Speed Process) SiGe:C bipolar process.
