UPC2709T-E3-A

RF Amplifiers Overview

The UPC2709T-E3-A is a silicon monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) RF amplifier manufactured by CEL. Designed for cellular, DBS, and PCS applications, it operates within the 2GHz to 2.3GHz frequency range. The device is housed in a compact SOT-23-6 Thin or TSOT-23-6 package. It requires a supply voltage between 4.5V and 5.5V, with a typical supply current ranging from 19mA to 32mA. This component serves as a low-power amplifier suitable for integration into wireless communication systems.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Integrated silicon MMIC design for high-frequency RF amplification
• Optimized for cellular, DBS, and PCS band operations
• Compact surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Cellular communication systems
• Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) tuners
• Personal Communications Service (PCS) devices

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics, as variations exist between T and TB packages. Ensure compatibility with 4.5V–5.5V supply rails and check for RoHS compliance documentation. Confirm the manufacturer source is authorized to guarantee part authenticity and traceability.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-noise, wide-band amplifier is required for the 2GHz–2.3GHz range. Consider the SOT-23-6 footprint for board space limitations. Verify that the 19mA–32mA current draw fits the system power budget. Ensure the application does not require higher output power levels than this low-power MMIC provides.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the UPC2709 series of RF amplifiers originally developed by NEC Electronics and later produced by CEL. The series includes variants like the UPC2709TB designed specifically for first IF amplifier roles in DBS tuners. The UPC2709T-E3-A represents a specific configuration within this family, tailored for general cellular and PCS amplification tasks.
