Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. For saturated performance, the following is recommended: (3*V DD + abs(VGG)) <175 V. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +200°C will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours. Junction temperature directly affects device MTTF and should be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime. 5. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN)). Typical Transient Thermal Resistances (IDQ = 300 mA, 300 μs pulse, 10% duty cycle): a) Freq. = 3.1 GHz, ӨJC = 0.62C/W TJ = 172C (TC = 82C, 48 V, 5.34 A, POUT = 120 W, PIN = 10.15 W) b) Freq. = 3.3 GHz, ӨJC = 0.69C/W TJ = 183C (TC = 83C, 48 V, 5.37 A, POUT = 120 W, PIN = 7.50 W) c) Freq. = 3.5 GHz, ӨJC = 0.67C/W TJ = 177C (TC = 84C, 48 V, 5.25 A, POUT = 120 W, PIN = 7.65 W) 3 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.
