(1dB) is measured the input power level when the insertion loss increase more 1dB than that of linear
range.
All other characteristics are measured in linear range.
NOTE ON CORRECT USE
When the
PG132G is used it is necessary to use DC blocking capacitor for No. 2 pin (OUT2), No. 5 pin (IN) and
No. 7 pin (OUT1). The value of DC blocking capacitors should be chosen to accommodate the frequency of
operation.
Insertion loss and isolation of the IN-OUT2 is better than that of IN-OUT1, because No. 7 pin (OUT1) is placed
to same side of No. 5 pin (IN).
The distance between IC's GND pins and ground pattern of substrate should be as shorter as possible to avoid
parasitic parameters.

Internal Equivalent Circuit
Between the GND pins and FETs of this IC, a capacitor of 3.6 pF for floating is inserted to realize switching between
positive voltages of +3 V and 0 V. However, the basic configuration of the
PG132G is the same as that of the
PG131G. In addition, the
PG132G has a monitor pin and a resistor to check the internal circuitry.

APPLICATIONS
Dependency on control voltage
The input/output characteristics, insertion loss, and isolation characteristics hardly fluctuate up to P
in
(1 dB) = +27
dBm, even if the control voltage is changed in a range of +3.0 V to +5.0 V. When the IC is used at P
in
= +22 dBm
in a PHS extension, therefore, the characteristics of the IC do not fluctuate even if a battery whose discharging
characteristics fluctuate, such as a lithiumion battery, is used.

Next, results from evaluating the temperature characteristics of the
PG132G are shown. As shown, favorable
characteristics are obtained in a range of T
A
= 55 to +90 C. The temperature coefficient of the insertion loss is about
+0.0014 dB/C, indicating that the higher the temperature, the more the insertion loss.

NEC Corporation does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual
property rights of third parties by or arising from use of a device described herein or any other liability arising
from use of such device. No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents,
copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC Corporation or others.
While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its semiconductor devices,
the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or
property arising from a defect in an NEC semiconductor device, customer must incorporate sufficient safety
measures in its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special", and "Specific". The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on
a customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications
of a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each
device before using it in a particular application.
Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment,
audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic
equipment and industrial robots
Special:
Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
Specific: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC devices in "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books.
If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade,
they should contact NEC Sales Representative in advance.
Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product.

Caution
The Great Care must be taken in dealing with the devices in this guide.
The reason is that the material of the devices is GaAs (Gallium Arsenide), which is
designated as harmful substance according to the Japanese law concerned.
Keep the law concerned and so on, especially in case of removal.
The application circuits and their parameters are for references only and are not intended for use in actual design-
