TGL2209 8 12 GHz 50 Watt VPIN Limiter Product Description The Qorvo TGL2209 is a high power, X-band GaAs VPIN limiter capable of protecting sensitive receive channel components against high power incident signals. The TGL2209 does not require DC bias and achieves a low insertion loss in a small form factor. These features allow for simple integration with minimal impact to system performance. The TGL2209 operates from 812 GHz with low insertion loss of less than 0.5 dB. Receive protection is rated up to 50 W incident pulsed-power with a low flat leakage of less than 18 dBm. The TGL2209 is offered in die form and is well suited for Product Features both commercial and defense related applications. Frequency Range: 812GHz Insertion Loss: < 0.5 dB Peak Power Handling: 50 W (pulsed) Flat Leakage: < 18 dBm Spike Leakage: < 20 dBm Passive (no DC bias required) Recovery Time: < 30 nS Die Size: 2.00 x 2.00 x 0.10mm Performance is typical across frequency. Please reference electrical specification table and data plots for more details.
