Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
These electronic devices are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these Class 0 (HBM)
devices.
1. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
2. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.

3. Unless otherwise specified: Tolerance ±0.10 mm
4. If possible, use copper filled vias underneath pin 3 for better thermals; otherwise, use vias that are plated through, filled and plated over.
5. Solder mask should provide a 60 µm clearance between copper pad and soldermask. Rounded package pads should have matching
rounded solder mask openings.
6. Use circles or squares for thermal land stencil such that there is only 50% to 80% solder paste coverage
