REVISION HISTORY
The following table summarizes revisions to this document.
Revision
Date
Description
0
Sept. 2009
 Initial Release of Data Sheet
1
Dec. 2009
 Table 4, Moisture Sensitivity Level, corrected Package Peak Temperature to 260C, p. 2
2
Dec. 2013
 Table 1, Maximum Ratings: increased input power from 4.7 dBm to 17 dBm to reflect the true capability of
the device, p. 2
 Table 3, ESD Protection Characteristics, removed the word “Minimum” after the ESD class rating. ESD
ratings are characterized during new product development but are not 100% tested during production. ESD
ratings provided in the data sheet are intended to be used as a guideline when handling ESD sensitive
devices, p. 2
 Table 6, Test Circuit Component Designations and Values: corrected C9, C10 chip capacitor description
from 0.01 to 0.1 pF, p. 5. Table 6 (900 MHz component designations) and Table 7 (700 MHz component
designations): added PCB material information, pp. 5, 10
 Replaced Case Outline 98ASA10760D, Rev. O with Rev. A, pp. 13--15. Mechanical outline drawing
modified to reflect the correct lead end features. Format of the mechanical outline was also updated to the
current Freescale format for Freescale mechanical outlines.
