Power Splitter/Combiner

MMIC Surface Mount

CASE STYLE: DG1847

Feature

Advantages

Wideband, 5 to 20 GHz

One power splitter can be used in many applications, saving component count. Also ideal

for wideband applications such as military and instrumentation.

Excellent power handling

2.5W as a splitter at 25°C

1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner at 25°C

In power combiner applications, half the power is dissipated internally. EP2K+ is

designed to handle 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner allowing reliable operation

without excessive temperature rise. Similar splitters implemented as Wilkinson splitters

on PCB require big resistors and additional heat sinking. As a splitter, EP2K+ can handle

up to 2.5W in a very small package.

DC Passing up to 1.2A

DC current passing is helpful in applications where both RF & DC need to pass through

the DUT, such as antenna mounted hardware.

Small size

4 x 4mm QFN package

Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable

transitions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB.

Product Overview

Mini-Circuits EP2K+ is a MMIC splitter/combiner designed for wideband operation from 5 to 20 GHz. This model

provides excellent power ratings in a tiny device package (4x4x1 mm), with up to 2.5W power handling (as a split-

ter) and up to 1.2A DC current handling. Manufactured using GaAs IPD technology, it provides a high level of ESD

protection and excellent reliability.

The Big Deal

• Ultra-Wide Bandwidth, 5-20 GHz

• Tiny Size, 4 x 4 x 1 mm

• High Power Handling, 2.5W as a Splitter
