EP2C+

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The Mini-Circuits EP2C+ is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power splitter/combiner engineered for wideband RF applications. It operates effectively across a frequency range of 1800 MHz to 12500 MHz, providing a bandwidth of 10.7 GHz. The component features a maximum insertion loss of 2.1 dB and maintains a standard 50 Ohm impedance. Packaged in a compact QFN-24 surface-mount device (SMD/SMT) format, the EP2C+ delivers excellent power handling capabilities suitable for demanding wireless communication environments.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact termination style and packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with the intended PCB layout for the QFN-24 footprint. Confirm that the operating environment remains within the specified 1800 MHz to 12500 MHz range to maintain optimal insertion loss and power rating specifications.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband split or combine function is required between 1.8 GHz and 12.5 GHz. The low insertion loss makes it suitable for applications where signal integrity is critical. Consider the QFN-24 package size for space-constrained designs. Ensure the system impedance matches the 50 Ohm specification for proper matching.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

The EP2C+ belongs to Mini-Circuits' portfolio of MMIC components designed for chip and wire integration. It complements other passive and active devices such as amplifiers, attenuators, and filters. This series supports various frequencies up to mmWave ranges, offering flexibility for diverse RF system architectures requiring reliable power division or combination.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

The EP2C-DG+ is a die version of this component, suitable for bare die integration. Verify if the packaged QFN-24 form factor is strictly required or if die-level integration is acceptable for the specific application design.
