BALF-2690-02D3 50 ohm nominal input / conjugate match balun for STLC2690, with integrated harmonic filter Datasheet − production data Description STMicroelectronics BALF-2690-02D3 is a balun design to transform single ended signal to differential signals in Bluetooth applications. This BALF-2690-02D3 has been customized for STLC2690 Bluetooth transceiver with less than 1.2 dB insertion losses in the bandwidth (2400 MHz-2500 MHz). Flip-Chip package 4 bumps Features • 50 Ω nominal input / matched output differential impedance The BALF-2690-02D3 has been designed using STMicroelectronics IPD (integrated passive device) technology on non-conductive glass substrate which optimize RF performance. Figure 1. Device configuration (top view) • Integrated harmonic filter 1 • Low insertion loss • Low amplitude imbalance 2 A SE • Low phase imbalance • Small footprint < 1.54 mm² GND B DIFF C Benefits • Very low profile (< 560 µm after reflow) • High RF performance DIFF • RF BOM and area reduction Applications • Bluetooth STLC2690 application • Mobile phone application Figure 2.
