Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPC2709TB-A is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type must be 6-TSSOP, SC-88, or SOT-363 to ensure PCB footprint compatibility and surface mount assembly without redesign.

Electrical Performance: The substitute must operate within overlapping frequency ranges and deliver comparable gain and noise figure specifications to maintain signal integrity in the target application band.

Supply Voltage and Current: Operating voltage and current consumption must be compatible with existing power delivery infrastructure. The UPC2709TB-A operates at 4.5V to 5.5V with 19mA to 32mA supply current.

RF Application Type: The substitute must support the same RF application categories (Cellular, DBS, PCS) or general-purpose RF amplification suitable for these bands.

Regulatory Compliance: REACH and ECCN classifications must align to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BGA2801,115 Substitution Considerations:

The BGA2801,115 manufactured by NXP USA Inc. is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support and availability. This substitute shares identical package specifications (6-TSSOP, SC-88, SOT-363) and surface mount mounting type, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Frequency range overlap exists within the 2GHz to 2.2GHz band, covering the primary operating region of the UPC2709TB-A. The BGA2801,115 demonstrates superior noise figure performance at 3.9dB compared to the UPC2709TB-A specification of 5dB to 6.5dB, and provides gain of 23dB within the range of the original component.

Supply voltage differs between components: the UPC2709TB-A requires 4.5V to 5.5V, while the BGA2801,115 operates at 3V to 3.6V. This voltage differential necessitates power supply circuit evaluation to determine compatibility with existing designs. Supply current for the BGA2801,115 is 14.3mA, lower than the UPC2709TB-A range of 19mA to 32mA.

Both components maintain identical REACH and ECCN compliance classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99), ensuring regulatory alignment. Moisture sensitivity level is equivalent at MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BGA2801,115 be used as a direct replacement for the UPC2709TB-A without PCB modifications?

A: Package compatibility is confirmed. Both components use 6-TSSOP, SC-88, SOT-363 packaging with surface mount mounting, allowing identical PCB footprints. However, power supply voltage requirements differ (3V to 3.6V for BGA2801,115 versus 4.5V to 5.5V for UPC2709TB-A), requiring evaluation of power delivery circuits.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these components?

A: The BGA2801,115 operates at lower supply voltage and current levels compared to the UPC2709TB-A. Gain specifications are comparable (23dB for BGA2801,115 within the 21dB to 26.5dB range of UPC2709TB-A). The BGA2801,115 provides superior noise figure at 3.9dB versus 5dB to 6.5dB for the original component.

Q: Is the frequency range of the BGA2801,115 suitable for cellular, DBS, and PCS applications?

A: The BGA2801,115 operates across 0Hz to 2.2GHz, covering the 2GHz to 2.3GHz band of the UPC2709TB-A. The upper frequency limit of 2.2GHz is slightly below the 2.3GHz maximum of the original component. Application suitability depends on specific frequency requirements within the cellular, DBS, and PCS bands.

Q: What regulatory compliance information applies to the BGA2801,115?

A: The BGA2801,115 maintains REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification, matching the regulatory profile of the UPC2709TB-A. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both components.

Q: Why is the BGA2801,115 classified as an active product while the UPC2709TB-A is obsolete?

A: Product status reflects current manufacturing and distribution availability. The BGA2801,115 is actively manufactured by NXP USA Inc. with ongoing inventory support, while the UPC2709TB-A has been discontinued by CEL, necessitating alternative component identification for system continuity.
