EP2K1+

The Mini-Circuits EP2K1+ is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power splitter/combiner designed for wideband applications spanning 2 to 26.5 GHz. This device is manufactured using GaAs IPD technology, ensuring a high level of ESD protection and excellent reliability.

With a compact 4x4mm QFN package, the EP2K1+ offers significant space savings in dense layouts. It provides robust performance with up to 2.5W power handling when used as a splitter at 25°C, and can handle 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner at 25°C. The device also supports DC passing up to 1.2A, which is beneficial for applications requiring simultaneous RF and DC signal transmission, such as antenna-mounted hardware.

Key features include excellent amplitude unbalance of 0.1 dB typical and good phase unbalance of 1 to 5° typical. The ultra-wide bandwidth, usable from 1.8 to 28 GHz, makes it a versatile component for various systems including WiMAX, ISM, instrumentation, radar, WLAN, satellite communications, and LTE.

The EP2K1+ is RoHS3 compliant and has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1. Its small footprint and high performance make it suitable for demanding RF and microwave applications where space and reliability are critical.
