This model provides excellent power ratings in a tiny device package (4x4x1 mm), with up to 2.5W power handling (as a splitter) and up to 1.2A DC current handling. Manufactured using GaAs IPD technology, it provides a high level of ESD protection and excellent reliability. KEY FEATURES Feature Advantages Wideband, 5 to 20 GHz 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 2.5W as a splitter at 25°C 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner at 25°C In power combiner applications, half the power is dissipated internally. EP2K+ is designed to handle 1.7W 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, EP2K+ can handle up to 2.5W in a very small package. DC Passing up to 1.2A 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.
