LPF1608LL52R2500A

Overview

The LPF1608LL52R2500A is a surface-mount low-pass filter manufactured by Pulse Electronics, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within the 2.3 GHz to 2.7 GHz frequency range with a center frequency of 2.5 GHz and a bandwidth of 400 MHz. The component features a 0.6 dB insertion loss and utilizes an SMD/SMT termination type in a compact 0603 (1608 metric) package. It is suitable for board mounting in RF systems requiring precise frequency filtering.

Feature Summary

• Provides low-pass filtering characteristics for radio frequency signal conditioning
• Designed for high-frequency operation within the 2.3 GHz to 2.7 GHz band
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount form factor for space-constrained PCB layouts

Applications

• RF front-end modules in wireless communication devices
• Signal conditioning circuits in cellular infrastructure
• Filtering stages in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with Pulse Electronics or authorized distributors before procurement. Ensure that the 0603 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint design rules. Confirm that the 2.3-2.7 GHz operational range meets your system's frequency requirements. Check for any specific handling or storage conditions outlined in the official documentation to maintain component integrity during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pass filter is required for the 2.3-2.7 GHz band with minimal insertion loss. The 0603 package size offers a balance between performance and board space efficiency. Consider the 0.6 dB insertion loss specification for signal integrity analysis. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow processes. Evaluate alternative filters if wider bandwidth or different cutoff frequencies are needed for the specific application.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pulse Electronics' LPF series of low-pass filters, which are engineered for RF signal conditioning. The LL suffix typically denotes specific construction or material properties within the series. These components are integral to maintaining signal purity in modern wireless communication systems by attenuating unwanted higher-frequency noise while passing the desired baseband or intermediate frequency signals.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 0603 low-pass filters from Pulse Electronics or competitors with matching 2.3-2.7 GHz specifications and similar insertion loss characteristics. Verify impedance matching and physical footprint compatibility before substitution. Cross-reference datasheets for exact electrical parameter alignment to ensure no degradation in system performance.
