4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
6. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ < 150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
7. Junction Temperature (TJ) = Case Temperature (TC) + ӨJC*(V*I)
Typical thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 29°C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 67°C @ 5V, 290 mA
b) For TC = 85°C,
TJ = 127°C @ 5 V, 290 mA
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
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 (HBM) Class 1B devices.
