MABA-011103

Balun Overview

The MABA-011103 is an RF balun manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions, designed for broadband applications. It operates within a frequency range of 40MHz to 1.215GHz and provides a 1:1.77 impedance transformation ratio between unbalanced and balanced ports. The component features a maximum insertion loss of 3.1dB and a minimum return loss of 13dB. It is housed in a compact 6-SMD (5 Leads) package with gull wing terminals, suitable for surface mount installation.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides impedance transformation from unbalanced to balanced configurations
• Optimized for CATV broadband signal processing
• Utilizes auto transformer topology for efficient RF coupling

Balun Applications

• CATV broadband infrastructure
• RF signal distribution networks
• Balanced-to-unbalanced conversion stages

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging configuration, as standard quantities may vary between cut tape and reel formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times through authorized distributors prior to finalizing procurement plans. Ensure the part number matches the required impedance ratio and frequency specifications for the target design.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:1.77 impedance transformation is required within the 40MHz to 1.215GHz bandwidth. Consider the 6-SMD gull wing package for surface mount assembly constraints. Evaluate insertion loss and return loss specifications against system requirements to ensure signal integrity is maintained across the operational frequency range.
