Hi,

The data sheet link for the ADC-WB-BB balun says that this balun operates from 400MHz-3GHz (http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/snau123/snau123.pdf), whereas the TI page states that it operates from 4.5MHz-3GHz (http://www.ti.com/tool/adc-wb-bb).

Is there a mistake?

Thanks!

Hi Rosanah

The ADC-WB-BB (http://www.ti.com/tool/ADC-WB-BB) operates from 4.5MHz to 3GHz and uses a Mini-Circuits wirewound balun. The datasheet for that balun can be found here: http://www.minicircuits.com/pdfs/TC1-1-13MA+.pdf

The ADC-LD-BB (http://www.ti.com/tool/adc-ld-bb) operates from 400MHz to 3GHz and incorporates an Anaren transmission line coupled balun. The current datasheet for that balun can be found here: http://www.anaren.com/sites/default/files/Part-Datasheets/B0430J50100AHF_DataSheet_RevC.pdf

The User's Guide (http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/snau123) for these balun boards may be confusing since it includes information for both boards/baluns. The ADC-LD-BB is on the first page and the ADC-WB-BB is on the second page. Also I noticed that the link for the Anaren balun datasheet appears to be out of date. We'll get that fixed and try to make the document more clear.

Best regards,

Jim B
