4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
6. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
7. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * (V * I)
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 62° C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 62 °C @ 5 V, 120 mA
b) For TC = 85°C,
TJ = 119 °C @ 5 V, 110 mA
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
