Model 3A412S
Balun Transformers
50 to 12.5 Balanced
The 3A412S is a low profile balanced to unbalanced transformer designed for push-
pull amplifiers in an easy to use surface mount package for AMPS and GSM. These
compact Xinger
®
surface mount baluns are ideal for high volume manufacturing
and are more reliable and repeatable than traditional baluns. The 3A412S has an
unbalanced port impedance of 50Ω and balanced port impedances of 12.5Ω to
ground with a 25Ω balance between outputs. This eases the matching of the push-
pull amplifier’s power transistors, which have low impedance levels. The output
ports have equal amplitude (-3dB) with 180 degree phase differential. The Xinger
®
balun is a result of years of research and development culminating with a solution
so unique, a patent is pending on the design approach. The 3A412S is available on
tape and reel for pick and place high volume manufacturing.
