TGL2217-SM
®
0.1 – 20 GHz 10 Watt VPIN Limiter
Product Overview
The Qorvo TGL2217-SM is a packaged high power,
wideband GaAs VPIN limiter capable of protecting sensitive
receive channel components against high power incident
signals. The TGL2217-SM does not require DC bias and
achieves a low insertion loss all in a small form factor.
These features allow for simple integration with minimal
impact to system performance.
The TGL2217-SM operates from 0.1–20.0 GHz with low
insertion loss of less than 0.9 dB. Receive protection is
rated up to 10 W incident pulsed-power with a low flat
leakage of less than 18.5 dBm.
The TGL2217-SM is offered in a small 3.5 x 3.5 mm QFN
package for simple board level assembly. Fully matched to
50 ohms on both RF ports, it is well suited for both
commercial and defense related applications.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant.
Evaluation boards available on request.
