UPC2709T-A

RF Amplifiers Overview

The CEL UPC2709T-A is a silicon monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) wide-band amplifier designed for cellular, DBS, and PCS applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 2.3 GHz. The device provides a gain of 21 dB to 26.5 dB with a noise figure between 5 dB and 6.5 dB. It requires a supply voltage of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and draws a supply current of 19 mA to 32 mA at a test frequency of 1 GHz. Packaged in a surface-mount T06 case, it utilizes the NESAT III process for high-performance RF amplification.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as NEC originally developed this component family. Ensure the specific suffix 'A' matches the required package and electrical specifications from CEL documentation. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for pin compatibility if replacing legacy NEC parts. Validate supply voltage and current ratings against system power constraints before procurement.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide-band amplifier is needed for frequencies up to 2.3 GHz in cellular or satellite applications. Consider the 21-26.5 dB gain range and 5-6.5 dB noise figure for signal integrity requirements. The T06 surface mount package suits space-constrained designs. Evaluate the 4.5-5.5 V supply requirement against available power rails.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

The UPC2709 series includes variants like the UPC2709TB, which shares similar performance characteristics but may differ in package type. These devices are part of a broader family of silicon MMICs manufactured using advanced processes. The UPC2709T-A specifically represents the CEL-branded version optimized for modern surface-mount assembly techniques.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

The UPC2709TB is noted as pin-compatible with comparable performance. Verify exact electrical parameters and package dimensions before substitution.
