Model 3A412
Rev. B
Balun Transformers
50 to 12.5 Balanced
Description
The 3A412 is a low profile balanced to unbalanced transformer designed for push-
pull amplifiers in an easy to use surface mount package for AMPS and GSM.
These compact Xinger
surface mount baluns are ideal for high volume
manufacturing and are more reliable and repeatable than traditional baluns. The
3A412 has an unbalanced port impedance of 50Ω and balanced port impedances
of 12.5Ω to ground with a 25Ω balance between outputs. This eases the matching
of the push-pull amplifier’s power transistors, which have low impedance levels.
The output ports have equal amplitude (-3dB) with 180 degree phase differential.
The Xinger
balun is a result of years of research and development culminating
with a solution so unique, a patent is pending on the design approach. The 3A412
is available on tape and reel for pick and place high volume manufacturing.
