DATA SHEET
µ
PB1508GV is a 3.0 GHz input divide by 2 prescaler IC for DBS tuner applications.
µ
PB1508GV can make
VHF/UHF band PLL frequency synthesizer apply to DBS/ECS tuners.
µ
PB1508GV is a shrink package version of
µ
PB584G so that this small package contributes to reduce the mounting space.
µ
PB1508GV 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, 12 mA
Fixed division : ÷2
APPLICATION
Prescaler between local oscillator and PLL frequency synthesizer included modulus prescaler
DBS tuners with kit use of VHF/UHF band PLL frequency synthesizer

1V
CC 4.5 to 5.5 Power supply pin. This pin must be equipped with bypass
capacitor (eg 1 000 pF) to minimize ground impedance.
2IN 1.7 to 4.95 Signal input pin. This pin should be coupled to signal
source with capacitor (eg 1 000 pF) for DC cut.
3IN 1.7 to 4.95 Signal input bypass pin. This pin must be equipped with
bypass capacitor (eg 1 000 pF) to minimize ground
impedance.
4, 5 GND 0 Ground pin. Ground pattern on the board should be
formed as wide as possible to minimize ground
impedance.
6, 8 NC 
Non connection pins. These pins should be opened.
7 OUT 1.0 to 4.7 Divided frequency output pin. This pin is designed as
emitter follower output. This pin can be connected to
input of prescaler within PLL synthesizer through DC cut
capacitor.

NOTE CORRECT USE
(1) Observe precautions for handling because of electro-static sensitive devices.
(2) Form a ground pattern as wide as possible to minimize ground impedance (to prevent undesired operation).
(3) Keep the wiring length of the ground pins as short as possible.
(4) Connect a bypass capacitor (e.g. 1 000 pF) to the VCC pin.

document.
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, customers 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 is "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 an NEC sales representative in advance.
Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product.
