UPC3232TB-E3-A

RF Amplifiers Overview

The UPC3232TB-E3-A is a silicon germanium MMIC medium output power amplifier manufactured by CEL. It operates within a frequency range of 0 MHz to 50,000 MHz and requires a supply voltage of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device is housed in a lead-free Super MiniMold package with six pins. It is designed for wideband low power amplification applications.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon germanium technology for MMIC construction
• Provides medium output power capabilities
• Supports wideband operation up to 50 GHz

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Wide band low power amplification
• RF amplifier circuits
• DBS applications (2.8-3.2 GHz)

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as the part number appears in listings for both CEL and NEC/Renesas. Confirm the specific datasheet version matches the required electrical characteristics. Ensure the package type corresponds to the Super MiniMold 6-pin configuration. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations are a constraint.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a silicon germanium MMIC is required for medium output power at high frequencies. Consider the 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply requirement during circuit design. Evaluate the Super MiniMold package size against board space constraints. Compare performance against other CEL RF amplifiers if specific gain or linearity metrics differ significantly.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This component belongs to the family of silicon germanium MMICs produced by CEL. It shares technological similarities with other wideband amplifiers in the portfolio. The part is distinct from evaluation boards like the UPC3232TB-EVAL-A, which are development tools rather than active components.
