100 to 1000 MHz
The Big Deal
• Wideband, 100 to 1000 MHz
• DC isolated
CASE STYLE: AT1521
• Low insertion loss, 0.6 dB
• Low amplitude unbalance, 0.5 dB in 1 dB bandwidth
Product Overview
TC4-13TX+ is a surface-mount, DC-isolated transformer with a center-tap on its secondary winding, cov-
ering the 100 to 1000 MHz band. This model provides a 4:1 secondary/primary impedance ratio, 0.6 dB
insertion loss, 0.5 dB amplitude unbalance (in 1 dB bandwidth) and 9° phase unbalance. It features core
and wire construction mounted on a 5-lead plastic base with tin over nickel termination finish. It measures
0.15 x 0.15 x 0.16”, easily accommodating dense circuit board layouts, and features Mini-Circuits’ Top
Hat® feature for faster, more accurate pick-and-place assembly.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
Wide bandwidth, 100 to 1000 MHz
Enables excellent signal power transmission from input to output.
Provides DC isolation between circuits and efficient AC transmission, eliminating the
need for external DC biasing components.
DC Isolation
Low insertion loss, 0.6 dB
Enables excellent signal power transmission from input to output.
Excellent amplitude unbalance, 0.5 dB in Low unbalance can improve a system’s electromagnetic compatibility by rejecting un-
1 dB bandwidth
wanted common-mode noise.
Small footprint (0.15 x 0.15 x 0.16”)
Accommodates tight space requirements for dense PCB layouts.
Improves speed and accuracy of pick and place assembly and provides clear device
marking for visual inspection.
