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 > 8 x 105 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.
