TP-101-PIN

Overview

The TP-101-PIN is an RF balun transformer manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions, designed for signal conversion between balanced and unbalanced lines. It operates within a frequency range of 500kHz to 1.5GHz. The component features a 50/50 Ohm impedance ratio for both balanced and unbalanced ports. It utilizes a 6-flatpack surface mount package for integration into circuit boards. The maximum insertion loss is specified at 0.5dB. The device is RoHS3 compliant and classified under EAR99 export control codes.

Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion across a wide frequency spectrum
• Maintains consistent 50 Ohm impedance matching on both ports
• Designed for surface mount installation in compact electronic assemblies

Applications

• RF front-end modules requiring impedance transformation
• Wideband communication systems operating between 500kHz and 1.5GHz
• Signal conditioning circuits in test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix PIN against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure correct packaging and marking specifications. Confirm that the 6-flatpack package variant matches the intended PCB footprint requirements. Check for any recent product change notices regarding material composition or pin assignments to guarantee compatibility with existing designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband balun solution is required for frequencies extending up to 1.5GHz. Ensure the design accommodates the 6-flatpack surface mount form factor. Consider the 0.5dB maximum insertion loss specification for signal integrity analysis. Verify that the 50 Ohm system impedance aligns with the surrounding circuitry requirements.
