μPC8236T6N
Three Circuit Configurations For GPS Application
o Introduction o Circuit Description o Performance Data
Introduction
NEC’s uPC8236T6N is a silicon germanium carbon (SiGe:C) MMIC designed as low noise amplifier for GPS applications. It features low supply voltage, low noise figure and high gain. It also includes an integrated output matching circuit, a robust bandgap regulator, and ESD protection circuits. More detailed technical specifications can be found in uPG8236T6N’s datasheet, available on CEL’s website: www.cel.com. In the early days of GPS applications, most GPS receivers were stand-alone devices. In that case, the in-band RF performance specs are usually the critical parameters for a low noise amplifier front end design.
