MABAES0054

Balun Overview

The MABAES0054 is an RF balun module from MACOM Technology Solutions, designed for frequencies between 5MHz and 1GHz. It features a 4:1 impedance transformation ratio (unbalanced to balanced). Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 2.0dB and a phase difference of 8°. The component utilizes a 5-SMD gull wing surface mount package.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion within the specified frequency range
• Supports 4:1 impedance transformation ratio for circuit matching
• Utilizes a compact surface mount package for automated assembly

Balun Applications

• RF front-end modules requiring impedance transformation
• Balanced mixer input/output stages
• Antenna feed networks in wireless communication systems

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct configuration. Confirm that the 5-SMD gull wing package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Check for any recent product change notices or marking updates issued by MACOM Technology Solutions prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband 4:1 balun is required for frequencies up to 1GHz. Ensure the application can accommodate the specified 2.0dB maximum insertion loss and 8° phase difference. Verify that the surface mount form factor aligns with the design's space constraints and manufacturing capabilities.

Balun Part Context
