Revision Date Description 3 Mar. 2007 • Corrected and updated Part Numbers in Tables 8 and 9, Component Designations and Values, to RoHS compliant part numbers, p. 6, 7 4 July 2007 • Replaced Case Outline 1514--01 with 1514--02, Issue D, p. 1, 11--13. Case updated to add missing dimension for Pin 1 and Pin 3. 5 Mar. 2008 • Removed Footnote 2, Continuous voltage and current applied to device, from Table 2, Maximum Ratings, p. 1 • Corrected Fig. 13, Single--Carrier W--CDMA Adjacent Channel Power Ratio versus Output Power y--axis (ACPR) unit of measure to dBc, p. 5 • Corrected S--Parameter table frequency column label to read “MHz” versus “GHz” and corrected frequency values from GHz to MHz, p. 8, 9 6 Feb. 2012 • Corrected temperature at which ThetaJC is measured from 25°C to 88°C and added “no RF applied” to Thermal Characteristics table to indicate that thermal characterization is performed under DC test with no RF signal applied, p. 1 • Table 6, ESD Protection Characterization, removed the word “Minimum” after the ESD class rating. ESD ratings are characterized during new product development but are not 100% tested during production. ESD ratings provided in the data sheet are intended to be used as a guideline when handling ESD sensitive devices, p. 3 • Removed ICC bias callout from applicable graphs and Table 10, Common Emitter S--Parameters heading as bias is not a controlled value, p. 4--9 • Added .s2p File availability to Product Software and Printed Circuit Boards to Development Tools, p. 14 7 Apr. 2012 • Table 1, Maximum Ratings, increased Input Power from 10 dBm to 25 dBm to reflect the true capability of the device, p. 1 MMG3012NT1 14 RF Device Data Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
