It also requires us to fabricate a filter and baleen that requires ~ 10 capacitors and inductors external to the device.
Hello Nick,
Please note that the discrete filter/balun topology is recommended by the manufacturer for cost reasons. A transformer-style balun and single-chip low-pass filter would reduce the external component count to just two or three components.
If you're building 10, an extra $2 per device is no big deal. If you're building 1 million, then it matters.
