MMIC Surface Mount EP2K+ Power Splitter/Combiner 2 Way-0 50 5 to 20 GHz The Big Deal Ultra-Wide Bandwidth, 5-20 GHz CASE STYLE: DG1847 Tiny Size, 4 x 4 x 1 mm High Power Handling, 2.5W as a Splitter 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. Key Features Feature Advantages One power splitter can be used in many applications, saving component count. Also ideal Wideband, 5 to 20 GHz for wideband applications such as military and instrumentation. In power combiner applications, half the power is dissipated internally. EP2K+ is Excellent power handling designed to handle 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner allowing reliable operation 2.5W as a splitter at 25C without excessive temperature rise. Similar splitters implemented as Wilkinson splitters 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner at 25C 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 current passing is helpful in applications where both RF & DC need to pass through DC Passing up to 1.2A the DUT, such as antenna mounted hardware. Small size Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable 4 x 4mm QFN package transitions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB. Notes A.
