+12 to +32 dBm Limiter 50Ω Broadband CLM-83-2W+ 30 to 8200 MHz The Big Deal • Ultra wide frequency range, 30 MHz to 8.2 GHz • High CW input power, +32 dBm • Ultra reliable ceramic hermetic package • Low profile case, 0.045” high CASE STYLE: DL1721 Product Overview The CLM-83-2W+ protects against ESD and input RF power surges, up to 1.6 W, across a very wide frequency range. Internal diodes are bonded to a multilayer integrated LTCC substrate, and then hermetically sealed under a controlled nitrogen atmosphere with gold-plated covers and eutectic AuSn solder. These rugged, tiny limiters, only 0.12 x 0.12 x 0.045” high, provide excellent protection for low noise amplifiers and other sensitive equipment, especially in hostile environments where unwanted signals prevail, such as manufacturing sites, train tunnels, ECM & ECCM, etc. Key Features Feature Advantages Limiting abilities from +12 to +32 dBm Protects against very strong undesired signals to help prevent burn out of amplifiers and other highly sensitive components Ultra wideband, 30 MHz to 8.2 GHz Protects against many different types of unwanted signals. Tiny surface‐mount package Useful in crowded PCB boards where space is at a premium Ceramic, hermetic, nitrogen‐filled construction Protects against moisture, for long‐term reliability Response time 2 nsec Reacts almost instantaneously to limit unwanted high‐level signals Recovery time 8 nsec Minimal downtime after unwanted signals are removed, with very quick restoration of standard operating levels Low insertion loss and VSWR Provides minimal degradation to system performance, especially low noise amplifiers where input loss is critical Low cost Practical, low‐cost solution to protect expensive amplifiers or other sensitive applications from burning out Notes A.
