UPC2776TB-E3

RF Amplifiers Overview

The UPC2776TB-E3 is a silicon monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) radio frequency amplifier manufactured by CEL. Designed for operation within the 2.3 GHz to 2.7 GHz frequency range, this component serves as a medium power amplifier suitable for wireless communication systems. It utilizes a SOT-363 surface-mount package and operates on a supply voltage typically ranging from 2.7 V to 3.3 V. The device draws a quiescent current of approximately 45 mA while delivering a gain of 21 dB with a noise figure of 6 dB. Key performance metrics include an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 10 dBm, input return loss of 14 dB, and isolation of 30 dB. Power dissipation is rated at 200 mW, supporting applications in WLAN, DBS, TVRO, PCS, and WLL environments.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify manufacturer authenticity through authorized distribution channels due to potential counterfeit risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific lot traceability requirements before procurement. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity levels defined in the datasheet. Validate that the SOT-363 footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Check for end-of-life notices or obsolescence warnings from the manufacturer prior to finalizing purchase orders.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-noise, medium-power amplifier is required for the 2.3–2.7 GHz spectrum. Consider the 45 mA current consumption against system power budgets. Evaluate the 21 dB gain requirement against overall link budget calculations. Assess the SOT-363 package size relative to available board space. Compare noise figure specifications against other candidates if sensitive reception is critical.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the CEL UPC277 series of RF amplifiers, which are widely used in consumer electronics and telecommunications. The UPC2776 variant specifically targets higher frequency bands compared to earlier models like the UPC2771. It represents a transition from discrete transistor solutions to integrated MMICs, offering improved consistency and reduced board space.
