Baluns use STs process integrating high-quality RF passive components on a single glass substrate. As well as balanced/unbalanced conversion, they can also integrate a matching network in a footprint smaller than 1 mm² for the complete function. ST's latest balun-the 1.2 mm² footprint BALF-NRG-02D3-is customized for our BlueNRG-1 and new BlueNRG-2 transceivers, reducing RF complexity and providing optimized link budget
STMicroelectronics' BALF-CC26-05D3 is an ultra-miniature balun, integrating both matching network and harmonics filter. Matching impedance has been customized for the TI CC26xx series 5x5 SimpleLink™ multistandard wireless MCU. The device uses STMicroelectronics' IPD technology on a non-conductive glass substrate, which optimizes RF performance
2.45 GHz balun with integrated matching network Matching optimized for CC26 series 5´5 external differential Low insertion loss Low amplitude imbalance Low phase imbalance Coated Flip-Chip on glass Small footprint < 1.5 mm²
