The µPB1510GV is a 3.0 GHz input divide by 4 prescaler IC for DBS tuner applications. The µPB1510GV is suitable for use of frequency divider for PLL synthesizer block. The µPB1510GV is a shrink package version of the µPB585G so that this small package contributes to reduce the mounting space.
The µPB1510GV is manufactured using NEC’s high fT NESAT™ IV silicon bipolar process. This process uses silicon nitride passivation film and gold electrodes. These materials can protect chip surface from external pollution and prevent corrosion/migration. Thus, this IC has excellent performance, uniformity and reliability.

FEATURES
• High toggle frequency : fin = 0.5 GHz to 3.0 GHz
• High-density surface mounting : 8-pin plastic SSOP (175 mil)
• Low current consumption : 5 V, 14 mA TYP.
• Fixed division : ÷4

APPLICATION
• Prescaler between local oscillator and PLL frequency synthesizer included modulus prescaler
• DBS tuners with kit use of VHF/UHF band PLL frequency synthesizer
