DESCRIPTION
The UPC2748T is a Silicon Monolithic integrated circuit which
is manufactured using the NESAT III process. The NESAT III
process produces transistors with f
T
approaching 20 GHz.
This amplifier was designed for 900 MHz receivers in cellular
and cordless telephone applications. Operating on a 3 volt
supply (1.8 volt minimum) this IC is ideally suited for hand-
held, portable designs.
NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures en-
sure the highest reliability and performance.
