Description:
The 3A325 is a low profile balanced to unbalanced transformer
designed for push-pull amplifiers in an easy to use surface
mount package for NMT450 and TV broadcast applications.
These compact Xinger
surface mount baluns are ideal for high
volume manufacturing and are more reliable and repeatable
than traditional baluns. The 3A325 has an unbalanced port
impedance of 50
and balanced port impedances of 25
to
ground with a 50
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 3A325 is available on tape and reel for
pick and place high volume manufacturing.
