TGL2927-SM 2 - 4 GHz 200 Watt VPIN Limiter (R) Product Overview The Qorvo TGL2927-SM is a high-power receive protection circuit (limiter) operating from 2-4 GHz. Capable of withstanding up to 200 W incident power levels, the TGL2927-SM allows < 18 dBm flat leakage to pass through and contributes < 0. 6dB in insertion loss. Using Qorvo's passive GaAs VPIN technology, the TGL2927-SM does not require bias and is offered in a small 4 x 4 (mm) plastic overmold package. This simplifies system integration while maximizing performance and protection. The TGL2927-SM is ideal for commercial and military radar applications where protecting sensitive receive components from damage is critical. Lead-free and RoHS compliant. Evaluation Boards available on request.

RO4003C, r = 3.38. Metal layers are 0.5 oz. copper. The microstrip line at the connector interface is optimized for the Southwest Microwave end launch connector 1092-02A-5. The trace pattern shown has been developed and tested for optimized assembly at Qorvo. The PCB land pattern has been developed to accommodate lead tolerances. Since processes vary from company to company, careful process development is recommended. For pulsed applications, only. Increased pulse width and/or duty cycle results in lower power handling capability of the EVB. Notes: 1. Ground / thermal vias under the DUT are critical for the proper performance of this device. 2. The EVB shown herein utilizes copper filled vias (10 mil diameter) under the DUT to maximize heat transfer away from the DUT under large signal conditions. 3. Thermal dissipation is low for normal non-limiting operation. Data Sheet Rev.
