BIPOLAR ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
PC8179TK
3 V SILICON MMIC LOW CURRENT AMPLIFIER
FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The
PC8179TK is a silicon monolithic integrated circuit designed as amplifier for mobile communications. This
IC can realize low current consumption with external chip inductor which can not be realized on internal 50
wide band matched IC.
PC8179TK adopts 6-pin lead-less minimold package using same chip as the conventional
PC8179TB in 6-pin super minimold.
TK suffix IC which is smaller package than TB suffix IC contributes to reduce mounting space by 50%.
This IC is manufactured using our 30 GHz f
max
UHS0 (Ultra High Speed Process) silicon bipolar process.

These ICs can be added to your system around
parts, when you need more isolation or gain. The application
herein, however, shows only examples, therefore the application can depend on your kit evaluation.

Function and Applications
Internal Equivalent Circuit
Signal input pin. A internal
matching circuit, configured with
resisters, enables 50
connection
over a wide band. This pin must be
coupled to signal source with
capacitor for DC cut.

5
GND
0
Ground pin. This pin should be
connected to system ground with
minimum inductance. Ground
pattern on the board should be
formed as wide as possible.
All the ground pins must be con-
nected together with wide ground
pattern to decrease impedance
defference.

Signal output pin. This pin is de-
signed as collector output. Due to
the high impedance output, this pin
should be externally equipped with
LC matching circuit to next stage.
For L, a size 1 005 chip inductor can
be chosen.

Power supply pin. This pin should
be externally equipped with bypass
capacitor to minimize its impedance.
Note
Pin voltage is measured at V
