5. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN))
Typical thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 7°C/W.

6. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
7. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
8. Junction temperature directly effects device MTTF. Junction
temperature should be kept as low as possible to maximize
lifetime.

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 HBM Class 1A
devices.
Recommended biasing conditions are VDD = 10 V,
IDSQ = 400 mA (controlled with VG1).
VDD Bias must be applied through a resonant free
high inductance on the RF output line.
By-pass capacitor C1 for the auxiliary pad is for low
frequency operation extension (below 1 GHz).
Recommended PCB Information
RF input and output are 50 Ω transmission lines.
Single layer 8 mil Rogers RO4008 with 1/2 oz. Cu.
Use copper filled vias under ground paddle.
Grounding
It is recommended that the total ground (common
mode) inductance not exceed 0.03 nH (30 pH). This
is equivalent to placing at least four 8-mil (200-μm)
diameter vias under the device, assuming an 8-mil
(200-μm) thick RF layer to ground.
