Description
M/A-COM’s DS52-0002 is an IC-based monolithic
power divider in a low cost SOIC-8 plastic package.
This 2-way power divider is ideally suited for
applications where small size, low insertion loss,
superior phase/amplitude tracking and low cost are
required. Typical applications include base station
switching networks and other communication appli-
cations where size and PCB real estate are a pre-
mium. Available in tape and reel.
The DS52-0002 is fabricated using a passive-
integrated circuit process. The process features full-
chip passivation for increased performance and
reliability.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
GMIC Circuits are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static
electricity. Proper ESD control techniques should
be used when handling these device s.
1. All specifications apply with a 50-ohm source and load impedance.
