TCW2-722+

Overview

The TCW2-722+ is a Mini-Circuits RF transformer designed for high-frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2400 to 7125 MHz and maintains a 50Ω impedance with a 1:2 transformation ratio. The component utilizes an SMD/SMT termination type in a compact 0603 (1608 Metric) package, measuring 1.6 mm in length, 0.79 mm in width, and 0.61 mm in height. It supports a single channel and functions reliably across a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced conversion with a 1:2 ratio
• Operates effectively from 2.4 GHz to 7.125 GHz
• Constructed using LTCC technology for stability

Applications

• RF signal balancing in microwave circuits
• S-band upconverter designs
• Differential modulator/demodulator interfaces
