BALF-NRF01D3 STMicroelectronics

BALF-NRF01D3 50 nominal input / conjugate match balun to nRF51822-QFAA /QFAB and nRF51422-QFAA/QFAB with integrated harmonic filter Datasheet production data Description STMicroelectronics BALF-NRF01D3 is an ultraminiature balun. The BALF-NRF01D3 integrates matching network in a monolithic glass substrate. Matching impedance has been customized for the nRF51822-QFAA/QFAB, and nRF51422-QFAA/QFAB RF transceivers. The BALF-NRF01D3 uses STMicroelectronics IPD technology on non-conductive glass substrate which optimize RF performance. Lead-free Flip-Chip package 5 bumps Figure 1.
