ETC16-1T-2TR

Balun Overview

The ETC16-1T-2TR is an RF balun transformer manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 5 MHz to 40 MHz and provides a 1:16 impedance transformation ratio between unbalanced and balanced ports. The device maintains a phase difference of 3 degrees, ensuring signal integrity during mode conversion. Packaged in a compact 6-SMD (5 Leads) flat lead surface-mount format, it is designed for efficient integration into high-frequency circuit layouts requiring single-to-balanced conversion.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides single-ended to balanced mode conversion for RF signals
• Delivers 1:16 impedance transformation ratio between ports
• Maintains low phase difference for accurate signal balancing

Balun Applications

• Single to balanced mode conversion circuits
• Impedance matching networks in RF systems
• Balun transformer applications in communication hardware

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the current production status before procurement as this component may be classified as obsolete. Confirm that the 6-SMD package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 5 MHz to 40 MHz operational range meets your specific application needs. Check for available alternative core components if supply continuity is a concern.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:16 impedance transformation is required within the 5 MHz to 40 MHz band. The 3-degree phase difference specification makes it suitable for applications demanding precise signal balancing. Consider the surface-mount package constraints and verify that the thermal and electrical characteristics fit the system design without requiring additional external components.

Balun Part Context

This part belongs to the MACOM ETC series of RF transformers, which are designed for surface-mount integration. The series typically includes variants like the ETC1-1T-2TR, offering different impedance ratios such as 1:1. These components are engineered for cost-effective manufacturing while maintaining reliable performance in standard RF environments.

Balun Replacement Considerations

Consult official MACOM documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers. Evaluate alternatives based on identical impedance ratios and frequency ranges. Verify package compatibility and pinout definitions to ensure seamless integration without redesigning the host circuit board.
