Bipolar Analog Integrated Circuit
µPC3230GR
AGC AMPLIFIER + PRE AMPLIFIER IC
DESCRIPTION
The uPC3230GR is silicon bipolar monolithic IC designed for use as Dual path AGC amplifier for digital TV, Digital CATV.
This IC consists of Dual path AGC amplifier for QAM path and analog one to B/B block of STB.
The package is 16-pin SSOP Package suitable for surface mount.
This IC is manufactured using our 30 GHz fmax UHS0 (Ultra High Speed Process) silicon bipolar process.
This process uses silicon nitride passivation film. This material can protect chip surface from external pollution and prevent
corrosion /migration. Thus, this IC has excellent performance, uniformly and reliability.
