Ultra Low Profile 1008 Balun
75Ω to 300Ω Balanced

Description
The B0011E75300A00 is a low profile sub-miniature balanced to unbalanced transformer designed for differential inputs and output locations on next generation analog and digital TV chipsets in an easy to use surface mount package.
The B0011E75300A00 is ideal for high volume
manufacturing and is higher performance than traditional wire wound baluns. The B0011E75300A00 has an unbalanced port impedance of 75Ω and a 300Ω balanced port impedance. This transformation enables single ended signals to be applied to differential ports on modern semiconductors. The output ports have equal amplitude (-3dB) with 180 degree phase differential. The B0011E75300A00 is available on tape and reel for pick and place high volume manufacturing.

This improves the insertion loss, return loss and balanced performance in the 870-1080MHz range. This inductance can be realized as a transmission line (dimensions will depend on the PCB material and ground plane distance). The added inductance can be used in conjunction with the external capacitors. When mounted with high groundplane spacing, part of this inductance comes automatically from the increased inductance of the typical via to ground. | 11 11 ZO=P 7o 5r Ωt_ [1 =Zin] C=C 821 pF 4 10 ZO=15P 0o Ωrt _ [=3 Zout/2] 4 2 8 8 B0011E75300Axx R1 13 R=300Ω [Zout] 5 3 1 1 C2 7 Port_2 C=82pF ZO=150Ω [=Zout/2] 5 12 12 9 SG1 VDC=V [Bias Voltage] 13 13 13 100mA max C3 C4 C=3900pF C=82pF 9 9 9 Figure 5 Biasing the balanced signals thru the balun. Dependign on the quality of “C3” the additional capacitor “C4” may not be needed. The DC-resistance from the bias point thru to each of the outputs are 10±4Ω. It is important to keep inductance to a minimum from pin 5 to ground or balanced performance will suffer. When used with high groundplane spacings it is recommended to have two or more via to ground. |

Pin 5 must be open circuit. It is recommended to use the 82pF on the low impedance side to improve the insertion loss and return loss in the 50-200MHz range. Note that pins 4 & 7 can only be interchanged if pins 9 7 10 are also interchanged, otherwise performance will suffer. | |

Distortion Considerations:
This balun does NOT contain any ferrite materials and are as such distortion free. Very, very low levels of distortion can arise from dissimilar metals on the contact pads of the part (Cu-Ni-Au) and from inter-metallic contaminations within the part.
Power Handling Considerations:
The RF-power handling capability of these baluns depends on the temperature at the mounted interface (base plate temperature), and whether or not DC-bias is feed through the part. The power handling specified is for a mounted temperature of 85˚C and no DC-bias and is based on a maximum operating temperature of the part itself of 125˚C (do not exceed this).
The maximum power handling relates to the dissipated power within the part and is therefore a function of insertion loss. The insertion loss of this device changes within the specified band. Thus if operated with a narrowband signal at either band edge (this is what is specified) it will have less power handling than if operated closer to the center of the band or if operated with a very wideband signal. If signals arrive at the balun that are out of the specified band, these must be included in the total dissipated power calculation. However the deteriorating return loss will eliminate some of this power.
The dissipated RF power can be estimated as;

Where:
- P is the input power, either on the low impedance side, single ended or the combined differential power in
on the balanced side, depending on the feeding direction.
- RL is the return loss in dB associated with the feeding port. I.e. if feed from the balanced side then the
dB balanced return loss must be used (this however is very similar to the single ended return loss). is the insertion loss at the operating temperature of the device.

Below the dissipated power is shown at a normalized 1W input power for the balun internal temperature of 125˚C.

When the duty cycle is not 100% the input power can be averaged, however the instantaneous input power should newer exceed TBD.

Mounting Configuration:
In order for Xinger surface mount components to work optimally, the proper impedance transmission lines must be used to connect to the RF ports. If this condition is not satisfied, insertion loss, Isolation and VSWR may not meet published specifications.
All of the Xinger components are constructed from softboard composites which possess excellent electrical and mechanical stability having X and Y thermal coefficient of expansion (CTE) of 19 ppm/oC.
An example of the PCB footprint used in the testing of these parts is shown below. In specific designs, the transmission line widths need to be adjusted to the unique dielectric coefficients and thicknesses as well as varying pick and place equipment tolerances.

The material used for testing is 8mil Rogers 4003. For a ground plane spacing much larger than this the single via at pin 5 should be replaced with at least 2 via and if possible a coplanar ground.
