Product details
Overview
RFXF0010-TR13 from RF Micro Devices is a 1:1 surface-mount RF transformer designed for unbalanced-to-balanced signal conversion in broadband RF systems, operating from 45 MHz to 1200 MHz with 75 Ω characteristic impedance, ≤1.3 dB insertion loss (typ.), and 180° nominal phase difference between secondary outputs.
For engineers reviewing the RFXF0010-TR13 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include amplitude/phase balance across 45–1200 MHz, RoHS-compliant SP5 package compatibility, and 75 Ω impedance matching for CATV and wireless front-end designs.
Technical Context
The RFXF0010-TR13 implements a transmission-line-based 1:1 turns ratio transformer with tertiary balance winding architecture, enabling precise 180° differential output generation. It supports unbalanced input (Port 1) to balanced differential output (Ports 2 & 3), with ground-referenced primary return path.
Designed for fixed-frequency broadband operation-not tunable or active-it delivers stable amplitude balance (≤0.5 dB typ. up to 600 MHz) and phase balance (≤6.0° max across full band), meeting requirements for impedance transformation and common-mode rejection in RF signal paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Frequency Range | 45 MHz to 1200 MHz - supports full-band CATV, ISM, and wireless infrastructure signal conditioning |
| Impedance Ratio | 1:1 - preserves 75 Ω system impedance without scaling, simplifying PCB layout and matching network design |
| Insertion Loss | 0.8–1.3 dB (typ.) - ensures minimal signal attenuation across three frequency bands, critical for low-noise receiver front ends |
| Amplitude Balance | 0.2–1.1 dB (max) - maintains consistent signal level between differential outputs, reducing distortion in IQ demodulators |
| Phase Balance | 0.8–6.0° (max) - sustains tight 180° differential timing alignment, essential for image rejection and mixer LO integrity |
| RF Power Rating | 2 W - enables use in medium-power transmit/receive paths without thermal derating in standard FR4 layouts |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +100°C - supports deployment in outdoor broadband equipment and industrial wireless gateways |
Pinout & Package
Package: SP5 - industry-standard 4-pin surface-mount footprint (0.120" × 0.120", 3.05 mm × 3.05 mm), lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | PRIMARY DOT | Unbalanced RF input (Port 1); dot-marked end defines phase reference for 180° output polarity |
| 2 | PRIMARY | Primary winding return / ground connection; provides RF return path for input side |
| 3 | SECONDARY DOT | Balanced output (Port 3); dot-marked terminal carries inverted phase relative to Port 2 |
| 4 | SECONDARY | Balanced output (Port 2); non-dot terminal forms differential pair with Pin 3 for 180° output |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF transformer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini-Circuits TC1-1-75+ | Same 1:1 ratio and 75 Ω impedance, but wider 0.1–500 MHz bandwidth; higher insertion loss (1.8 dB typ. at 100 MHz) | Preferred for sub-500 MHz legacy CATV; not rated for >600 MHz operation like RFXF0010-TR13 | Select when lower-cost evaluation or narrowband 5–500 MHz use is prioritized over 600–1200 MHz coverage |
| TDK HHM1595A1 | Integrated 75 Ω balun with embedded ESD protection; narrower 50–1000 MHz range; 1.5 dB max insertion loss | Suitable for portable wireless receivers where ESD robustness is mandatory; lacks RFXF0010-TR13's 1200 MHz upper limit | Choose when board-level ESD immunity is required and 1000–1200 MHz operation is non-critical |
Compared with TC1-1-75+ and HHM1595A1, the RFXF0010-TR13 uniquely extends usable bandwidth to 1200 MHz while maintaining ≤1.3 dB loss and <6.0° phase error-making it optimal for next-gen broadband infrastructure where full UHF coverage and tight balance are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the exact impedance specification of the RFXF0010-TR13?
The RFXF0010-TR13 has a 75 Ω characteristic impedance, confirmed in its datasheet under "Nominal Operating Parameters" and validated by S-parameter measurements. This matches standard CATV and broadcast RF systems, eliminating need for external impedance-matching components when interfacing with 75 Ω sources or loads. The RFXF0010-TR13 maintains this impedance across its full 45–1200 MHz operating range.
Does the RFXF0010-TR13 support differential signaling above 1 GHz?
Yes-the RFXF0010-TR13 is specified for operation up to 1200 MHz, with measured amplitude balance ≤1.1 dB and phase balance ≤6.0° at 1000 MHz. Its performance remains within datasheet limits through the entire band, including UHF TV channels and LTE Band 7/13 uplink frequencies. The RFXF0010-TR13 is routinely used in 1.1 GHz wireless infrastructure monitoring paths.
Is the RFXF0010-TR13 pin-compatible with other SP5-packaged RF transformers?
No documented pin-to-pin compatibility exists between the RFXF0010-TR13 and other SP5 transformers. Its pin assignment-PRIMARY DOT (1), PRIMARY (2), SECONDARY DOT (3), SECONDARY (4)-is specific to its 180° balun function and differs from generic 1:1 transformers that may assign pins for center-tapped or autotransformer configurations. Always verify pinout against schematic before substitution.
What is the maximum RF power handling capability of the RFXF0010-TR13?
The RFXF0010-TR13 has an absolute maximum RF power rating of 2 W, as stated in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" table. This applies across its full temperature range (−40°C to +100°C). Exceeding 2 W risks permanent damage. The RFXF0010-TR13 is commonly deployed in 1 W-class CATV line drivers and ISM transceiver PA output stages without derating.
How does the RFXF0010-TR13 achieve phase balance below 6° across 1200 MHz?
The RFXF0010-TR13 achieves tight phase balance via a precision-wound transmission-line structure with tertiary balance winding, optimized during core fabrication and winding tension control. Measured phase deviation stays ≤6.0° across all frequency bands (45–100, 100–600, 600–1200 MHz), with typical values as low as 0.8° at 100 MHz. This architecture is intrinsic to the RFXF0010-TR13 design and not adjustable post-manufacture.
