This model provides excellent power ratings in a tiny device package (4x4x1 mm), with up to 1.85W power handling (as a splitter) and up to 0.4A DC current handling. Manufactured using GaAs IPD technology, it provides a high level of ESD protection and excellent reliability. KEY FEATURES Feature Advantages Wideband, 1800 to 12500 MHz One power splitter can be used in many applications, saving component count. Also ideal for wideband applications such as military and instrumentation. Excellent power handling 1.8W as a splitter 0.85W internal dissipation as a combiner In power combiner applications, half the power is dissipated internally. EP2C+ is designed to handle 0.85W internal dissipation as a combiner allowing reliable operation without excessive temperature rise. Similar splitters implemented as Wilkinson splitters on PCB require big resistors and additional heat sinking. As a splitter, EP2C+ can handle up to 1.85W in a very small package. DC Passing up to 0.4A DC current passing is helpful in applications where both RF & DC need to pass through the DUT, such as antenna mounted hardware. Small size 4 x 4mm QFN package Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transitions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB. REV.
