3A425

The 3A425 is a low profile balanced to unbalanced transformer designed for push pull amplifiers in an easy to use surface mount package covering GSM, D-AMPS and NMT900 applications. These compact Xinger® surface mount baluns are ideal for high volume manufacturing and are more reliable and repeatable than traditional baluns. The 3A425 has an unbalanced port impedance of 50Ω  and balanced port impedances of 25Ω  to ground with a 50Ω  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 3A425 is available on tape and reel for pick and place high volume manufacturing.
