Ultra Low Profile 0404 Balun
For nRF24L01 and nRF24L01+
(Anaren Application Note Ann-3001)
Description
The BD2425NnRF is a low cost, low profile sub-miniature unbalanced to
balanced transformer designed for differential inputs and output, tuned to provide
optimal performance in tandem with the Nordic Semiconductor nRF24L01 and
nRF24L01+. The BD2425NnRF is ideal for high volume manufacturing and delivers
higher performance than a discrete implementation. The BD2425NnRF has an
unbalanced port impedance of 50Ω and matched balanced port impedance when
used in the specified matching network, which is the conjugate match of the
nRF24L01 and nRF24L01+ devices. This transformation enables single ended
signals to be applied to differential ports on the nRF24L01 and nRF24L01+. The
BD2425NnRF is available on tape and reel for pick and place high volume
manufacturing.

Mounting Configuration:
In order for Xinger surface mount components to work optimally, the proper impedance transmission lines must be
used to connect to the RF ports. If this condition is not satisfied, insertion loss, Isolation and VSWR may not meet
published specifications.
All of the Xinger components are constructed from ceramic filled PTFE composites which possess excellent electrical
and mechanical stability having X and Y thermal coefficient of expansion (CTE) of 17 ppm/
o
C.
An example of the PCB footprint used in the testing of these parts is shown below. An example of a DC-biased
footprint is also shown below. In specific designs, the transmission line widths need to be adjusted to the unique
dielectric coefficients and thicknesses as well as varying pick and place equipment tolerances
