STMicroelectronics’ new DLPF-GP-01D3 integrated dual differential filter
can replace up to 16 discrete surface-mount components and save 35mm2
of pc-board area in ZigBee® RF4CE[1] remotes and equipment such as
set-top boxes, TVs, home gateways, alarms, and lighting. The extra space
gives designers freedom to simplify board layout, reduce product size,
or add new functions.

The two integrated filter channels provide high attenuation outside the 2400-2500MHz frequency range and have low in-bandwidth insertion and return loss. ST has achieved this high performance, which helps designers meet the Zig Bee RF4CE specifications, by leveraging its Integrated Passive Device (IPD) technology with non-conductive glass substrate for superior signal integrity.
By enabling a single-chip solution, the DLPF-GP-01D3 also simplifies circuit design and saves Bill Of Materials (BOM) costs. The tiny 1.2mm x 3.4mm foot print, and height of less than 560μm after reflow, make this the smallest dual low-pass filter solution on the market, for the GreenPeakGP540 and GP561. The entire filter can now be built in less than 1/10ththe pc-board space of a conventional discrete circuit.
The DLPF-GP-01D3 is available immediately, in an 11-bump flip-chip package, priced from $0.23 for 5000 units.
