DESCRIPTION
4 GND SW1 5
NEC's UPB1509GV is a Silicon RFIC digital prescaler manu- C
factured with the NESAT™ IV silicon bipolar process. It fea- C = 1000 pF
tures frequency response to 1 GHz, selectable divide-by-two,
four, or eight modes, and operates from a 3 to 5 volt supply
while drawing only 5.3 milliamps. The device is housed in a
small 8 pin SSOP package that contributes to system miniatur-
ization. The low power consumption and wide supply range
makes the device well suited for cellular and cordless tele-
phones as well as DBS receiver applications.

Voltage Voltage
1 VCC1 2.2 to 5.5 – Power supply pin of input amplifier and dividers. This pin must be
equipped with bypass capacitor (eg 1000 pF) to ground.
2 IN – 1.7 to 4.95 Signal input pin. This pin should be coupled with a capacitor (eg 1000 pF).
3 IN – 1.7 to 4.95 Signal input bypass pin. This pin must be equipped with a bypass
capacitor (eg 1000 pF) to ground.
4 GND 0 – Ground pin. Ground pattern on the board should be formed as wide as
possible to minimize ground impedance.
5 SW1 H/L – Divided ratio control pin. Divide ratio can be controlled by the following
(VCC/OPEN) input voltages to these pins.

These pins must each be equipped with a bypass capacitor to ground.

7 OUT – 1.0 to 4.7 Divided frequency output pin. This pin is designed as an emitter follower
output. This pin can output 0.1 Vp-p min with a 200 Ω load.
This pin should be coupled to load device with a capacitor (eg 1000 pF).
8 VCC2 2.2 to 5.5 – Power supply pin of output buffer amplifier. This pin must be equipped
with bypass capacitor (eg 1000 pF) to ground.

Subject: Compliance with EU Directives

CEL certifies, to its knowledge, that semiconductor and laser products detailed below are compliant
with the requirements of European Union (EU) Directive 2002/95/EC Restriction on Use of Hazardous
Substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) and the requirements of EU Directive
2003/11/EC Restriction on Penta and Octa BDE.

CEL Pb-free products have the same base part number with a suffix added. The suffix –A indicates
that the device is Pb-free. The –AZ suffix is used to designate devices containing Pb which are
exempted from the requirement of RoHS directive (*). In all cases the devices have Pb-free terminals.
All devices with these suffixes meet the requirements of the RoHS directive.

This status is based on CEL’s understanding of the EU Directives and knowledge of the materials that
go into its products as of the date of disclosure of this information.
