Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 5. M/A-COM Technology Solutions 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) - (POUT - PIN)) Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 77° C/W. a) For TC = 25°C, TJ = 71 °C @ 5 V, 120 mA b) For TC = 85°C, TJ = 127 °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. 2 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM is considering for • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 / Fax: 978.366.2266 development.
