M/A-COM Tech launches CATV/broadband transformer designers’ kit

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc of Lowell, MA, USA (which makes analog semiconductors, components and subassemblies for RF, microwave and millimeter-wave applications) has launched a new 75Ω transformer designers’ kit for CATV/broadband applications. The kit features 12 transformer models covering multiple impedance ratios and wind schematics.

The MABA-000001-75KIT1 transformer designers’ kit contains full RoHS-compliant components. Transformer configurations include flux-coupled, transmission line, and auto transformer. All parts in the kit are surface-mount devices featuring ceramic, plastic or FR4 substrates. In addition, baluns meeting MoCA and DOCSIS requirements are also included. The kit comes with a CD-ROM containing datasheets, S-parameters and application notes.

“M/A-COM Tech offers a broad portfolio of RF baluns and transformers,” says product manager Graham Board. “This designers’ kit is a representative sampling of that portfolio.” The kit covers multiple impedance ratios, schematic configurations and footprints, he adds.
