Bias is nominally Vd=5V, I(total)=100 mA. App Note [2] Bias Arrangement - Each DC pad (Vd) needs to have DC bypass capacitance (~100-200 pF) as close to the device as possible. Additional DC bypass capacitance (~0.01 uF) is also recommended. MTTF Graphs (TBD) These numbers were calculated based on accelerated life test information and thermal model analysis received from the fabricating foundry.
