LFCV-1652+

Overview

The LFCV-1652+ is a low-pass RF filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for surface-mount integration. It features an LTCC construction with a cutoff frequency of 18.4 GHz and a passband extending from DC to 16.5 GHz. The component operates at a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms and exhibits an insertion loss of 1.9 dB. It is housed in a compact 1210 (3225 Metric) package with three PC pads, measuring 3.20mm x 2.50mm x 1.10mm. The device is RoHS3 compliant and classified under EAR99.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes LTCC technology for robust surface-mount construction
• Provides low-pass filtering with a 18.4 GHz cutoff frequency
• Maintains 50 Ohm system impedance compatibility

Applications

• RF signal path filtering in microwave circuits
• Harmonic suppression in upconverter assemblies
• Signal conditioning in broadband communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix required for your packaging preference, such as tape-and-reel or cut-tape formats, when placing orders. Confirm that the 1210 footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Ensure the 1.9 dB insertion loss specification aligns with your link budget requirements. Check for any updated datasheet revisions before finalizing design specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp cutoff near 18.4 GHz is required for signals below 16.5 GHz. The 1210 package size suits high-density board designs. Consider the 1.9 dB insertion loss impact on system noise figure. Verify that the LTCC material properties meet environmental operating conditions for the target application.
