BIPOLAR ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
PC8240T6N
SiGe:C LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER FOR GPS
DESCRIPTION
The
PC8240T6N is a silicon germanium carbon (SiGe:C) monolithic integrated circuit low noise amplifier for
The
PC8240T6N contains the output matching circuit to reduce external components and system size.
This IC is manufactured using our UHS4 (Ultra High Speed Process) SiGe:C bipolar process.
GPS. This device exhibits low noise figure and high gain characteristics, to improve the sensitivity of GPS receivers.
The package is a 6-pin plastic TSON (Thin Small Out-line Non-leaded) (T6N) suitable for surface mounting.
FEATURES
• Supply Voltage
