LFCV-2202+

Overview

The LFCV-2202+ is a miniature low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) low pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It features a DC to 22 GHz passband and operates with a 50Ω impedance. The component utilizes an SMD package with dimensions of 2.5x2mm, identified as case style JV1210C-13. It provides typical stopband rejection of 40 dB to 50 dB across frequencies from 29.8 GHz to 51 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Constructed using rugged low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for durability
• Designed as a surface mount device (SMD) for compact integration
• Provides high stopband rejection to suppress unwanted harmonic signals

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in microwave circuits
• Harmonic suppression in frequency upconverters
• General purpose filtering in RF and IF systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and electrical characteristics directly from Mini-Circuits official documentation before finalizing design specifications. Ensure that the LTCC construction and SMD footprint align with your PCB layout requirements. Confirm that the 50Ω impedance matches your system interface standards to prevent signal reflection issues.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth extending to 22 GHz is required within a minimal physical footprint. The LTCC construction offers robustness suitable for various environmental conditions. Consider the specific stopband rejection needs against potential harmonics generated by upstream active components in the signal chain.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LFCV series of LTCC low pass filters from Mini-Circuits. These components are engineered for high performance in RF and microwave applications. The series typically includes variants with different cutoff frequencies, allowing designers to tailor frequency response while maintaining consistent packaging and construction qualities across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits official substitution guides for verified alternatives. Cross-referencing with similar LTCC low pass filters requires matching the cutoff frequency, impedance, and physical dimensions to ensure compatibility without redesigning the host circuit board.
